Prevent decompile?

[Sander]

Could anyone show me how i can prevent my autoit programs from beeing decompiled by custom software? Just started with autoit and dont want some dude to steal my code and release it as hes own.

1) In my opinion Freeware and OPENSOURCE is the best way to go... but it's an opinion

2) you can not prevent anyone from decompiling your code... this is because when you compile the code it actually gets "encrypted" and decryption is always possible

3) you can obfuscate and use w0uter's method to make the decompiling more difficult... but yet not impossible

cheers

Thanks alot To be honest i would prefer open source aswell, but the site im planning on realesing this on has alot of people who will take the code and write they're name on it.

anyway you can always use the methods mentioned above

especially obfuscating... it changes all of the vars' and funcs' names to something incomprehensible so i's very difficult to decode

Found W0uters thread, all the code and stuff was removed though.

Forget it .... its will always be sort of hackable.
