[SQL Sever News Group]

Hi,

I v a problem that i have to secure my asp code. I tried "screnc.exe ", it is
very useful but not hard to crack.

Anybody who can give an alternate and better way.

Thanks in Advance

AFAIK there isn't any other way of protecting your asp code besides encoding
them with screnc.exe.
Another way to protect your code is to port your site to a compiled binary
(VB or C++) but that's a lot of work if your site consist out of ASP code
for the largest part.

An intermediate way to do this could be to take a very vital part of your
site, and only port that to a COM object, which you use in your ASP pages.
If you include a protection mechanisme in that COM object, it'll be a lot
harder to crack, but it'll still leave your ASP code vulnerable for
snooping. It'll just make it a lot harder to simply copy your app.

There's a product called ASP Lightning which converts your ASP code to
DLLs.

http://www.asplightning.com/asplightning/

Basically it creates on object for an entire ASP page, then creates a
couple of lines of code for the new ASP page (named the same as the
old page) which calls that particular object.

We were going to use it until a project of ours fell through, but I
played around with it for a couple of weeks and it worked very well.
The only "issue" that I found is that it was a bit picky as to some
ASP syntax. For example, it required a space before an after a "&"
symbol when conbine two strings. i.e.

response.wrte(" hello "&name)

is no good

response.write( "hello " & name)

is good
