make aut2exe spit out the "single au3 file"

[rbhkamal]

My understanding is that when compiling scripts, autoit joins all the included libraries into a single file then compiles it. How can I get that file?

I'm getting a runtime error at line 9130 and 5448 and really have no idea how to trace it back to the source code.

Thanks,

RK

Good luck...

Here's everything you need to know....

long story short-

Unless you included the script as a resource, chances are you're not gonna get the source back.

Thanks for the fast reply. I understand that my exe cannot be decompiled, however, that is not my goal. just fyi

[Edit] I'm sure there is a way to make au2exe not delete that temp file. Right now I'm trying to modify the security settings to not allow delete.

Oh wait! what? if there is a temp file then use this quick!

If I remember you can use the strip only switch in obfuscator tab when compiling from scite, to get the file you want.

Also using some wrapper directive, but its still not going to be the same line as your compiles script gives.

[Melba23]

rbhkamal,

You need the full version of SciTE4AutoIt3 (you can download it from here if you do not have it).

Then you add these lines at the top of your script:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Obfuscator=y
#Obfuscator_Parameters=/so

This will remove all unused functions and variables from the includes and all comments and blank lines from your script before compiling. You will find a file in the same folder as your script called My_File_Obfuscated.au3 - this is the file that was passed to Aut2Exe and the line numbers will match those passed by runtime error messages. The only exception we know of is if you use the line extension operator - that screws the count.

All clear?

[rbhkamal]

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Obfuscator=y
#Obfuscator_Parameters=/so

Perfect! that's exactly what I needed

I tried to use Obfuscator before but it was including some functions multiple times, at that time I didn't want to troubleshoot it and ended up not using it.

Thanks a lot!

Funny, that switch is not mentioned in the switch list in the compiler window.

where can I read about "ALL" of the switches.

Possible Parameters: 
   /cs 0/1   : 0=No String encryption (1=default)
   /cn 0/1   : 0=No Numeric encryption (1=default)
   /cf 0/1   : 0=No Func rename (1=default)
   /cv 0/1   : 0=No Var rename (1=default)
   /sf 0/1   : 1=Strip all unused Func's (0=default)
   /sv 0/1   : 1=Strip all unused Global var records (0=default)
   /striponly: same as /cs=0 /cn=0 /cf=0 /cv=0 /sf=1 /sv=1
   /striponlyincludes: same as /striponly but will leave master script untouched.
   /sci 0    : Default Minimal output to the console: warning and errors.
   /sci 1    : Show more progress information. 
   /sci 9    : Show all debug lines as found in the Obfuscator.log.
   /Beta     : Use Beta Includes. Dont use AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Obfuscator.
  
To strip the source, which is included in the ouput EXE from all Comments, Whitespace and All un-used Func's (also included UDF's), you just specify :   
/striponly

[Melba23]

System238,

It is just an abbreviation:

/so = /Strip Only

/soi = /Strip Only Includes

There is another undocumented switch you might want to play with as well:

/om - /Obfuscate Minimum

Have a look at what it does to your variable and function names.

M23

P.S. Once you have found out what /om does - can you work out why you woudl want to?

[Jos]

where can I read about "ALL" of the switches.

from the SciTE4Autoit3 helpfile:

Supported Commandline or compiler directive options:

This is the list of supported parameters to specify on the command line or in the Directive: #Obfuscator_Parameters=:

/CV or /Convert_Vars=0 ; No Variable encryption (Default = 1)

/CF or /Convert_Funcs=0 ; No FuncName encryption (Default = 1)

/CS or /Convert_Strings=0 ; No String encryption (Default = 1)

/CN or /Convert_Numerics=0 ; No Numeric encryption (Default = 1 )

/SO or /StripOnly ; Set the options to: /SF /SV /CV=0 /CF=0 /CS=0 /CN=0

/SOI or /StripOnlyIncludes ; Same as /SO but will leave masterscript untouched.

/OM or /ObfuscateMinumum ; Generates a much smaller obfuscated file.

/SF or /StripUnusedFunc ; Remove Func's that are not used by the MainScript. (Default = 0)

/SV or /StripUnusedVars ; Remove unused Gobal Variable declarations lines. (Default = 0)

/SCI or /showconsoleinfo 0 ; Default Minimal output to the console; warning and errors.

/SCI or /showconsoleinfo 1 ; Show more progress information.

/SCI or /showconsoleinfo 9 ; Show all debug lines as found in the Obfuscator.log

/Beta ; Use the AutoIt\Beta\Include files

Now I feel stupid for asking.

Thanks Jos & Melba32!

Topic seems done ... good.

You need the full version of SciTE4AutoIt3

mmm, Need? It provides a nice easy way for sure. But its also not fully fool-proof ..., or should I say newbie-proof.

---

A.n.y.w.a.y ... for a none SciTE4AutoIt3 depending solution.

Au3_BareCode_Merge

Generates bare code for a given Au3 file.

(Include's included) (semi source code tool)

Well, Ok. ... Partial solution, as it needs to have a little bit of code added to turn it in a useful exe/a3x.

... and needs to two lines fixed to make is #OnAutoItStart friendly.

Ergo: not (yet, if ever) intended as solution for newbies. -> Go with SciTE4AutoIt3.

After running that command /om I have found that "call" functions interfere heavily with the obfuscater .

Any way, thanks. after using that switch and viewing the output file, I have to say, wtf?

[Melba23]

System238,

AutoIt actually runs faster with shorter variable and function names. This switch allows you to use nice long expressive names in your script and then gives you a smaller exe and faster running once compiled by replacing them with 3-char aliases.

Obfucater will always have problems with some of the more exotic commands because it cannot tell what the arguments will be if they are variables or literal strings - if you look in the Obfuscator thread you will see this explained over and over again.

Agree ..... and really ... It isn't that difficult ones people would just take a little time to understand what Obfuscator does and why variables that contain either a Func name or a Variable name is never going to work in functions like Call, Eval and Execute.

Lately been considering stopping support on the obfuscation part and renaming the program to something like au3strip.exe because the only bit I use myself is the stripping of unused Funcs and Global variables.

Jos,

Could I make a plea for the /om switch to be retained - I find it does make a difference.
