Re: Logic behind auto update my app?


I saw "repacks sites" (in case, be VERY careful!) that do not only have cracks of anything; they also offer "much more compressed" downloads!

This is to say:
Do not waste too much of your time about copy/update protection!
…but OPTIMAL, LOSSLESS compression may be worth a look… (again: in case ...

Secondary process that has privileges to overwrite files that removes a hash of the signature appended to the Elf, Mach, or PE, then version&size check over http.

Re: Logic behind auto update my app?

I got a notification that a user called 'Herbert Terry' posted a replay here but I do not see either his post or himself at all in the members list. Anyway. To avoid DNS attacks, spoofings and so on, I thought to have a simple php file with content like the folowing:

Re: I miss something with Base64 and AES.


Everything's fine here. The code works exactly as expected.
With all my love and respect, you keep telling that. How can you say so? The point is to get the Base64 string from the php file and decode it correctly and not just pass it in a string var. Uncomment ReceiveHTTPMemory , use it to get ...

Re: I miss something with Base64 and AES.


It would be better if you would actually post a working example code.
Ok. At first, we have:
str$ = "Some text to test. Some text too."
size = StringByteLength(str$) + 2
*out = AllocateMemory(size)
AESEncoder(@str$, *out, size, ?key, 256, ?iv, #PB_Cipher_CBC)
Encoded$ = Base64Encoder(*out, size ...

I use the following code to encrypt some text:
str$="some text"
size = StringByteLength(str$)+2

size2 = size*1.5
PokeS(*buf,str$,size)
