Better program encryption...

[Kaiser]

Yup... open any PB-made program with Notepad or something similar. Any strings you've declared in the code (AKA: Ex: String="ThisIsMyString") will be seen as ThisIsMyString in a place at the... let's say 70% of all the rubbish text (30% is understandable)... and that's not good, overall if you store passwords, IP addresses or important stuff in there...

That would slow down all other strings that are not passwords and stuff. It's better to do this manually for the strings that you need encrypted.

[okasvi]

any programming language shouldnt encrypt strings on compile as default... for it you need to do it manually or using external packer...

Maybe this can help:

MrMat gave me a fixed example of storing "hidden" strings like so:

Code: Select all

a.l=0
a$=Chr('h'+a)+Chr('i'+a)+Chr('d'+a)+Chr('d'+a)+Chr('e'+a)+Chr('n'+a)

If you create an exe with this, you won't see "hidden" if you open the exe
in Notepad or a hex editor. This is the easiest way to hide text in an exe,
but it's by no means secure in any way. Good to stop casual snooping.
