Eru Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hey guys, I recently had a problem with someone who decompiled a program I made (Forgot to disallow while in a rush) and then tried to claim it as their own. Now that I'm a little more AutoIt savvy I've taken to Obfuscation and disallowing decompilation. I'm just curious as to what other methods people are using to make sure their scripts don't get ripped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piccaso Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Here is another thing you could do, but i wouldn't recommend it. IMO Obfuscation is a pretty good protection. You probably need more time reversing an obfuscated script then rewrite it.

mrbond007 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 (edited) A basic solution to keep unexperienced users away : After compiling the script, open the exe with a hex editor and change the first 2 or 3 "UPX" words into anything you want (PEC for example).

Richard Robertson Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 The best solution is a compiled language. If you are set on people not stealing your AutoIt source, you will have to live with obfuscation and possibly PE modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eru Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Thanks guys, nice suggestions. I haven't had any problems since I started obfuscating, but I'll toy around with the other suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Robertson Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 That's good to hear. Well, technically I didn't actually hear you but you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
