How to encode ASP code ?

[NEO]

Hi, im making some test software in ASP & i need to hide the code.

I thought the code to hide it was

<%@ LANGUAGE = VBScript.Encode %>

the .Encode was supposed to encode the VBscript.

So does anyone have any idea on how this can be done.

Thanks.

The ASP (VBScript) source code itself will not actually be visible to the end user. The user will only see the output of the ASP script if there is any. ASP scripts are processed on the server, and you won't be able to see the ASP source code by doing a "view source", unlike Javascript which is client-side and will gladly reveal itself in a "view source".

If you are distributing the ASP application, I don't really know of any way to hide the source code without compiling it into a .DLL file, but that gets more into programming in Visual Basic or something like that. I could be wrong but I've been working with ASP for the better part of 3 years and don't know of any way to do that...

DLL is safest but you can do it this way as well

I have used MS Encoder which is free -- find it somewhere on the microsoft site. It works great!!! It will encode all asp script, making it practically impossible for anyone to interpret your asp code even if they are fortunate enough to have access to your asp scripts. There is no decoder, so always be sure to save a copy of your original. Hope this helps.

There actually is a decoder floating around on the net made by some hacker.

The only way to securely hide your asp code is by DLL.
