ColdFusion Obfuscation 1

[djeddiej]

Hi everyone-

I was wondering if anyone has had experience in software or scripts that will obfuscate CF code?

I am aware that there are a number of ways to "sort of" scramble the code (i.e. cfencode.exe). Its not a question of preventing hackers from accessing the code (if they go that far, kudos to them) but rather a case of intellectual property rights ( and unpaid bills from the client)

Have you tried cfencode.exe? I once had a similar situation where we had a "consultant" who would steal my cf apps, then use them in his own company as a service to his customers (charging them for it, of course). I wound up using cfencode.exe on several of my apps and it worked great!



Hope This Helps!

Hi Ecar-
