Token System


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I thought about a token system which allows you to secure your program.

For example you have a program that has some _INetGetSource() functions. Now someone

can decompile the script and use the functions outside of the program.

What if you write a .dll in C or C++ that do the same like _INetGetSource.

You deliver the dll some parameters with AutoIt, do a MD5 Hash with a Salt and use this as a key.

The dll sends this key to a php which checks if the key is right or wrong.

It would be more secure and you can be sure to 99% that they can only use your program.

What do you think about it? I cannot test it because I dont know how to write this in C or C++

Maybe there is a way to do the same in AutoIt.

You don't need a dll if you use a web site. The user gives their user name and passwsord, the AutoIt script sends the function to call, the parameters, the user name and password. If the password is correct the server returns the output of the function.

The way you desribe it sounds like the key is generated by the dll and it is always going to be correct so what's it for?

With _INetGetSource you send the the username and password to the php. So its HTTP_GET

Everything you send can be also send with a browser. When someone decompile the AutoIt Program he can get the URL and the parameters. So its possible that the user dont need the program because he have the url.

When there is a .dll you send parameters to the dll can salt and hash the parameters to a key and send it via HTTP_POST to the php. Dont forget to obfuscate the dll code. So its hard for someone to get the salt to generate the key and fake the HTTP_POST

You would need to include in the encrypted data something to identify the PC so that copying the code onto another PC wouldn't work, otherwise you haven't protected it.

Hiding the url is not so easy as using a dll; Wireshark for example will tell you straight away what url is being used.

I've created a surfbar which I want to release. Everything works fine but I thought about the creditsystem.

I dont want to hide a url. I just want to create a key that is not easy to manipulate. When I call the php's with INetGetSource

I have to send things like username and siteid. So it will be possible that someone takes the URL's to the php's and call them with the parameters.

So I have to create a dll which cannot be decompiled as easy as an autoit .exe

Because everything you write in autoit can be manipulate.

This is the bit that looses me. You use a dll so that if someone decompiles the AutoIt script they still can't see what the dll does. But they can see how the AutoIt script calls the dll. So either they can use the dll with a modified script or if they can't in which case the question is why use AutoIt at all? Maybe your explanation isn't clear enough for me.

I would let the .dll check the checksum of the .exe so its not possible to manipulate the script otherwise the token would not work.

Too bad I just can write such a program in AutoIt but not in C# or C++.

Hex editor. Replace DLL checksum. Or NOP out the check routine entirely. Edited by Unsigned

Okay I dont know that this is possible. Is there a way to secure the surfbar that nobody can cheat the creditsystem?

I wrote some checks with php but its possible to get credits without viewing the sites.
