Can some developers tell me if they are aware of utility that allows decrypting autoit exe files to source ?

everyone is aware of it. check out Smoke_N's EncodeIt in scripts and scraps if you'd like to add another layer of protection for your scripts that you wish to distribute.

I mean a modified version of this executable

The funny thing that this utiilty dont work if exe compiled with latest version of autoit ? What chenged ?

Is there another way to protect the executable ?

use encodeit on the source, then compile. i've not had any issues with EncodeIt yet, but i know there are issues if you use Assign() or Eval() i think...

The question is the EncodeIt is the only solution can anything else be done ? Devs ?

I knew about this security issiue from the first autoit script i wrote but i didnt realise that there was an executable that could actually do the job for somebody that dont know nothing about programming at all :)

you could look back through the forum, and see the other old threads about this same thing. it really isn't the dev's responsibility to protect YOUR code. if you're unhappy with the current options available, you could always do as smoke did, and make another option. to me, the coolest part of being a programmer is that you are never limited in what you can do, except by your own motivation and imagination. which are you lacking in?

I guess i will have to use Smokes Encode it or create some of my own :) But really why did it stopped functioning with latest version something changed ?

Hmm...

Can it decompile when you compile with Allow decompilation option unchecked in Aut2Exe program?

First of all we talking about the Hacked Autoit decompiler and its not working with latest beta so the question was - is something changed or security improved ?

lol, I just caught on... he's not worried about HIS code, he wants his hands on someone else's :)

[u]Helpful tips:[/u]If you want better answers to your questions, take the time to reproduce your issue in a small "stand alone" example script whenever possible. Also, make sure you tell us 1) what you tried, 2) what you expected to happen, and 3) what happened instead.[u]Useful links:[/u]BrettF's update to LxP's "How to AutoIt" pdfValuater's Autoit 1-2-3 Download page for the latest versions of Autoit and SciTE[quote]<glyph> For example - if you came in here asking "how do I use a jackhammer" we might ask "why do you need to use a jackhammer"<glyph> If the answer to the latter question is "to knock my grandmother's head off to let out the evil spirits that gave her cancer", then maybe the problem is actually unrelated to jackhammers[/quote]

So this means that for now on there is no hacked decompiler for autoit and its safe to use it ? What is your personal vew Smoke should the source be encrypted ?

Thanks :)

Someone could always make another, so If you can encode your script without loss of speed or functionality, IMHO... it's always the safest bet... until the devs have the time to make a different type of compiler that has been discussed in some detail in the chat forum I believe at one time.

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Guess you right .....Downloading Encode It :) Thanks

But really is it so hard to create a standard protection for autoit that wouldnt be cracked easily ?
