Code Hiding
-
Anyone knows how to hide ASP codes?
something like...people write codes and compile into a DLL for use in a program...then other programmers will just use the DLL and not know how exactly the DLL is written....
Is there a way to do something like a DLL for web-based use?write something for web-based programmers to use but they only can use it...they cannot see how the code is written. -
For web use, I've never heard of DLLs being used. Maybe there are, but users will be wary of it. DLLs are libraries and can be registered with Windows. If done wrongly, it can mess up the registry and Windows and cause Windows to produce errors.
Rather than use DLLs, use ActiveX for IE and IE-based browsers, and Java applets for non-IE browsers. -
so U are saying I can just give a web designer an ActiveX/Java file for him to implement into his design...and he will not know how I did my programming in the ActiveX/Java file?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:For web use, I've never heard of DLLs being used.

Yup. But I have no idea how they would with an ActiveX file though. They can definitely work with a Java file without the source codes. Just compile them into a JAR file.Originally posted by Xcert:so U are saying I can just give a web designer an ActiveX/Java file for him to implement into his design...and he will not know how I did my programming in the ActiveX/Java file? -
a jar file can work for internet?I always tot only *.class can work for internet only.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Yup. But I have no idea how they would with an ActiveX file though. They can definitely work with a Java file without the source codes. Just compile them into a JAR file. -
Java applet will be class file...Originally posted by Xcert:a jar file can work for internet?I always tot only *.class can work for internet only. -
then any way to convert applet to jar file?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Java applet will be class file... -
For them to download?Originally posted by Xcert:then any way to convert applet to jar file?
There's some functions in Java... not sure, never touch Java for some time liao. -
srry to hijack, is there a way to hide source code ?
like when they click view source, wont show? -
implement your whole website in swf file lorOriginally posted by MyPillowTalks:srry to hijack, is there a way to hide source code ?

err...I dunno if U got the correct idea of my question...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:For them to download?

U see...I am going to write this piece of code for a "programmer" for use in his website to retrieve some information from his database...but this programmer is not much of a programmer....what he wants is just to use my code as a file(like a DLL wrapper,encapsulated)...he doesnt want to cut and paste lines of codes that he doesnt understand...so I am now searching if its possible for me to compile my code into a file and pass it to him and he can just use it without knowing what I wrote in the file....
all the above is for website...nothing is to be downloaded and run on local machine...DLLs are for programs running on local machines....but I need something like the concept....1 file to implement functions without showing the programmer user lines and lines of codes. -
Depends on what you want to hide.Originally posted by MyPillowTalks:srry to hijack, is there a way to hide source code ?

You can try using Java... but whether it will work is another separate question.Originally posted by Xcert:err...I dunno if U got the correct idea of my question...

Ok I try it out.thanks for the replies.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:You can try using Java... but whether it will work is another separate question. -

I suppose you want to obfuscate your code. Try your luck by digging the Google results for "ASP obfuscator". From what I see, there are no free obfuscators for ASP, since the technology itself is proprietary. But of course, this is where "flipped versions" come in.

My programmer user wouldnt know where to cut and paste non-obfuscated codes...not to mention obfuscated ones....but still...good read there.
Thanks for the tip.
