WOW! That's hot...o_o

I didn't even know they were like encryptedishy.

That's crazy! Sweeeeet. Thanks. hehehe...

It's not particularly...

With enough effort you can decompile just about any program, whatever language it is are written with. Let's face it, even encryption would only discourage the casual user.

The real way to get around this is to write a PY compiler that instead of executing the PY code actually produces machine code... this would solve your problem, though I admit it probably is not an easy task... but hey if no one else has done it you could earn a bit of a reputation (even make a bit of money).

No, it wouldn't. Dis-assemblers are in wide use, and anyone fairly experienced with them can find out what they need to.

As for all this "I can't hide my source so i'm not going to use Python"... what the? You can distribute the .pyc files, which will discourage the casual user but not the obsessed, who won't even be discouraged by an exe so.. yeah.

Sane: Why are the method names in upper caps? Goes against all the Python style guides (and most programming guides in general, as upper case is usually reserved for constants or compiler macros) i've ever seen

And I want to take your "decryption" challenge, but i'm getting 404s on the documents. Any chance you can get that fixed?

I took them off my FTP because I took everyone's advice that it wasn't worth it.

I'm heading out the door to my cottage right this minute. When I get back, I'll encrypt another file and host it along with the decoder.

Later.

Alrite, excellent.

I didn't know this either... perhaps this would be a good "senior project" for the students that frequent the forum. Or maybe the next programming challenge

Sane · Jun 26th, 2005, 4:37 PM

Go for it! Really, that would be awesome to see you guys make a good compiler.

Well anyways, here it is:

Sorry, which exactly is which? You'll need to provide some instructions on how to use the "encrypter" to uhh encrypt our files, so we can let the reverse engineering begin. It's not very easy to deduce, given the state of decoder.txt (yeah, I know it's intentional).

I was kind of upset when I heard that
