Encrypting/Disabling Javascript/HTML copying

[trollacious]

I saw a site that advertises a tool for $50 that will encrypt web pages. It has a few sample pages that would look impressive to anyone not realizing all they do is write the page in % hex codes, then use Javascript unescape() inside document.write() to spit the page out. If anyone wants to check it out, the URL is:

This, of course, is for amusement only, since it wouldn't work against anyone who had half an idea how to take the "encrypted" string, and then have Javascript "decrypt" it with unescapte() into a text area to read.

They have all sorts of awards listed that they claim to have received. One feature they do have that's interesting is orange scroll bars in IE (but not in Netscape).

"Web Protector protects your Web pages, including HTML code, JavaScript, VBscript, text, links, and graphics. It encrypts your Web pages with as many as six encryption schemes and makes the source code impossible for people to read and steal. Web Protector also takes additional measures to further protect your Web site, it enables you to fully disable the right mouse-click context menu, disable text selection, page printing, offline use, links display, in addition to disabling the IE6 Image Toolbar and Smart Tags feature."

Those are really interesting promises. Can I sue them for false advertisement do you think?

In ten minutes I broke through the code and *if* I spent a day or two I could create a reverse program that does the decryption for me. And as you suggested I did use a textarea (honest though I didn't read your post completely I saw the link and clicked it immediatly, we were thinking the same way).

Now do they have any sensitive information on their page I can play with? Gary
