mrbig1479 Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 i know there was once a decompiler for AutoIt files. i wan't to release a program i wrote in AutoIt and i don't want it to be decompiled , can you confirm that there is no known decompiler (at least not a known one)
Moderators Melba23 Posted April 9, 2010 Moderators Posted April 9, 2010 mrbig1479,Searching the forum will provide you with a lot more information in greater detail, but in brief:- There has been no legal decompiler for some time, but such things do exist out there on the Interweb.- Your plain language script is within the compiled .exe, but in compressed form. It is not immediately viewable with a hex editor, but is by no means secure as it is expanded in memory when the .exe is run.- Obfuscator (part of the full SciTE4AutoIt3 package) will obscure your script by changing variable and constant names (and a lot more!), which makes it harder to decompile but again does not render the .exe secure.So, compiling an Autoit script will prevent quick snooping, but a determined, experienced hacker can relatively easily get your source - including passwords, specific filenames, etc - or the encryption routines you have used in your script to encrypt/decrypt them if they are stored in another file.No doubt not what you wanted to hear, but the reality.
