Ah, I see. I managed to find one using a search engine, and it does indeed decode a cfencode.exe encrypted file. Interesting. However, I /was/ able to stop the tool I found from working by using a different command line paramater than I originally tried. I'm purposefully keeping details low on this stuff to deter hackers that might stumble on this post in the archives. :)
Of course, the point of this stuff, as with most security, is to keep most people out. It doesn't matter what method you use, any determined hacker with enough resources can break it. But in this case, if one used cfencode, most people aren't going to even know about cfencode, let alone utilities like cfdecrypt. So most people won't see your code. :) However, the fact that there's an easy to find tool for breaking cfencode's encryption does not lend confidence. But the original question mentioned doing this to keep management out of their code, and I seriously doubt they'll be able to get at it if you use cfencode. > -----Original Message----- > From: Bryan Stevenson > Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 4:01 PM > > Nope...I'm referring to the cfdecrypt utility that has been > floating around the > web for years....it's purpose is to decrypt the code > encryption that has always > been used to encrypt CF source code (goes back to the Allaire days) This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
