form2function Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 First off, greetings. I've been toying with AutoIt for a couple months now and greatly enhancing my productivity through the various scripts out there. Inevitably, the time has come for me to write something of my own creation so I wanted to get some help from the community of experienced programmers here. My own programming experience is somewhat limited, though I tend to pick up environments fairly quickly by going through code examples. My first question is usually the last stage of a project but I wanted to get it out of the way. What methods are there to protect a script/program from being reverse-engineered by other AutoIt users? XProTec caught my eye so far but it's a little too feature-rich for my purposes (ie. trials, registration, etc). All I'm looking for is a way to lock out users from viewing and/or digging into the script in order to protect my work. I know I'll have other questions soon, but any feedback on this one would be appreciated in the mean time.
Kiti Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Usually, if you convert a script to an executable, it cannot be reverse-engineered.A great tool to use for protecting .au3 scripts is by using the Obfuscator, which can be found, which can be found on the SciTe4AutoIt3 Downloads Page.Cheers!

form2function Posted June 16, 2008 Author Posted June 16, 2008 Doesn't the exe2Au program convert compiled exe's back into au3 scripts? And thanks I'll take a look at Obfuscater asap.

Good Luck Ant..
