They can try, but any truly determined hacker will be able to hack your code, whatever the encryption/obfuscation.
Since your program needs to be “decrypted” in order to run, the in-memory image could be enough.
If it is simply obfuscation, a bit of hard work can get around that (figuring out functions, giving meaningful names etc).
