GEOSoft Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 If a file is inside a compiled script by way of FileInstall() does that file get extracted during a decompile or is it just lost to eternity?

GEOSoft Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 (edited) decompile just extract the script not the fileinstall file Great!! That's what I was hoping for. Security is no longer a problem with decompiled scripts then. All its going to take is a 4 line compiled script FileInstalled().It's almost 3AM in my part of the world so tomorrow I'll put together a short example for you to try and PM it to you.

Richard Robertson Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Anyone with a hex editor, and a decompressor and some time can hack out the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBoy Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Anyone with a hex editor, and a decompressor and some time can hack out the files.Would be easier to just run the program and with FileMonitor see where the files are being saved My little company: Evotec (PL version: Evotec) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HackerZer0 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 i've had an idea similar to this, are you trying to make 2 autoit files one that run another? example: "important information.au3" is compiled into "Important Information.exe" then a script that uses file install compiles said file into another .exe so when decompiled, all you get is the few lines of code that install the file, not the file itself...

MadBoy Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 The file will only be there for a few millisecs.Unless you're going to overwrite the file on hdd with some random stuff you can be sure that it's gonna be easly retrivable from HDD (after deletion). I'm not trying to kill your thinking but it has some flaws. Also when you know what you are doing you can prolly set a trap on a dir so if anything gets written to that particular dir.. can't be deleted or so My little company: Evotec (PL version: Evotec) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
