@blu devil Hardware based protection is sometimes not possible to crack at all, if done correct. So I agree with you.

Decryption is at the top of this as cryptography is based upon hard mathematical problems and has closer to theoretical soundness than all other methods. The rest, even hardware are security by obscurity in various forms.
Don't forget crippleware where code is literally absent from the target and must be painstakingly hand built back. That's also at the top of the list.
So that original list looks more like the common methods used but is incredibly lacking. A taxonomy of cracking would be a 50 page thesis if done properly.
