Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted May 15, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) @LerN look at the _Crypt_* functions in the help file to get an idea of what is available in AutoIt. Be sure to try out the examples, so you understand how it works. As for "so no one can decrypt this file" - that is simply not going to happen, and has been discussed far too many times on this forum. In short, a determined person will be able to undo AutoIt obfuscation or encryption in very short order - period. As we are not going to go through the discussion again in this thread, please do a forum search for "Protect My Script" to read for yourself why it is not possible.

LerN Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 I know these functions but any one can easily decrypt the file in 1 second ! so what is the point of using these functions then . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted May 15, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 15, 2017 Please see my edit above. As mentioned, this has been discussed ad nauseam.

jchd Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 2 hours ago, LerN said: but any one can easily decrypt the file in 1 second Untrue! Crypt* functions are decently immune to breakage from both sister kid and most malvolents IFF (if and only if) your computer isn't physically tampered with, is free from spyware of all kinds and you request the user to type a hard passphrase before every access without storing it on permanent storage (nor PostIt stuck on the monitor frame). Storing the passphrase in the script itself makes encrypting anything essentially pointless. This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available).

spudw2k Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Agreed. If you employ one of the more robust ciphers (3DES, AES) you should be reasonably safe. Avoid less robust (broken) ciphers like DES and RC2or4.https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/libfunctions/_Crypt_EncryptData.htm Spoiler Things I've Made: Always On Top Tool ◊ AU History ◊ Deck of Cards ◊ HideIt ◊ ICU ◊ Icon Freezer ◊ Ipod Ejector ◊ Junos Configuration Explorer ◊ Link Downloader ◊ MD5 Folder Enumerator ◊ PassGen ◊ Ping Tool ◊ Quick NIC ◊ Read OCR ◊ RemoteIT ◊ SchTasksGui ◊ SpyCam ◊ System Scan Report Tool ◊ System UpTime ◊ Transparency Machine ◊ VMWare ESX BuilderMisc Code Snippets: ADODB Example ◊ CheckHover ◊ Detect SafeMode ◊ DynEnumArray ◊ GetNetStatData ◊ HashArray ◊ IsBetweenDates ◊ Local Admins ◊ Make Choice ◊ Recursive File List ◊ Remove Sizebox Style ◊ Retrieve PNPDeviceID ◊ Retreive SysListView32 Contents ◊ Set IE Homepage ◊ Tickle Expired Password ◊ Transpose ArrayProjects: Drive Space Usage GUI ◊ LEDkIT ◊ Plasma_kIt ◊ Scan Engine Builder ◊ SpeeDBurner ◊ SubnetCalcCool Stuff: AutoItObject UDF ◊ Extract Icon From Proc ◊ GuiCtrlFontRotate ◊ Hex Edit Funcs ◊ Run binary ◊ Service_UDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LerN Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Guys i am having some problems ! i have encrypted an ini file looks like this : [first] firstkey = 0x123 [second] secondkey = 0x321 [third] thirdkey = 0x213 now the ini file looks like this : 0xweird numbers after encryption 0xweird numbers after encryption 0xweird numbers after encryption 0xweird numbers after encryption 0xweird numbers after encryption 0xweird numbers after encryption now for ex: what i have to do to read the secondkey ? specially to read 0x321 ??

jchd Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Of course encrypted data is undistinguishable from random binary, and hopefully! You need to decrypt the whole thing to get it back to plaintext. Isn't that the whole purpose of encryption in the first place, seriously? BTW you seem to have encrypted every string separately, else you should only see "0xlonger series of weird numbers after encryption" once. I suggest you encrypt/decrypt the full text as a whole. Also converting the cyphertext to string is a useless step. Leave it as binary. This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available).
