Hi All, I have posted to and helped on this forum for years. I respect the feedback of folks here. Recently I searched to see if zend encoded files can be decoded - specifically files from ionCube which I own. This is one time when I don't want to ask the developer, ionCube, but instead want to ask the community. I am wanting to encode a source library of functions I have developed and wonder if it really will be possible to simply run them through a process and decode them. I do see services, most with grammatical errors like a foreign site, inviting me to pay to have it decoded, but am not willing to do that just yet as paying for a failed decode doesn't mean decoding is impossible Samuel. Simply run them through a process and decode them.according to both zend and ioncube, no.

According to some very suspect looking site, yes. With all security measures the question is 'is it good enough' is the pay off for breaking the encoding worth the time money to do so? I think its unlikely that what you do is so valuable (no disrespect to your code, just that any one can hire some Indians (no disrespect to Indians you just work for less) to replicate it for not a lot) that some one would go to the trouble of breaking the encoding. You should of course have a contract in place so you have some options should they choose to. With all security measures the question is 'is it good enough' is the pay off for breaking the encoding worth the time money to do so?And apart from encoding, it supposedly does some other things as well.

I say supposedly since I have not looked at decoded code myself, but it is according to Zend, and I doubt they'd put something like that in print if it wasn't true. So, assuming it's true, it strips comments and indentation. Moreover, it's supposed to also do 'code obfuscation'.

IonCube Loader is a PHP module needed for your server to read / decode any encoded and secured PHP scripts used by some apps. PHP can use the Loader with one line added to a PHP configuration file (php.ini). Well, as not all apps are using this technology so basically in common Vestacp install,. There are services (or service since I've only and confirmed one) that can decode any encoded file for a small price. Decompiling a compiled PHP file is aparrantly possible, but you don't get the formatting or comments since they're removed. It is the encoding bit which is important as that adds extra security.

I do not know exactly what that would mean, but one guess is shortening names for variables, functions etc, similar to what you commonly see when it comes to javascript on the web. So, I'd agree with Dagon that you probably have good enough protection here, and should indeed go the rest of the way with a license agreement. So there's no verifiable source where you can submit a zend or ioncube encoded file and for like 15 bucks the guy returns your file unencoded and you say 'wow, that's exactly the code!' Is that correct? Also it has always been a mystery to me how a computer can read and follow a program but a person couldn't masquerade as a CPU and get the program routine. Guess there's a concept about going to binary which I don't apprehend fully. I get MD5(), but not this.

Part of me wants to get a CS degree just to understand this, but then part of me wants to start my own mexican restaurant called 'the Happy Gringo' which would feature some of the low-fat alternatives which we make at home - and yes I'd get rich doing it. I think I'll continue with programming. Binary code is like a maze for marbles that can loop the marbles as well. CODING is instructions on how to build the maze. The maze itself carries no instructions, only paths for the marble. Zee Horror Show Download In 3gp.

It carries little or no revelation as to the logic of how it works. Is that correct?Not sure what you're getting at, but note that machine language ('binary code' - the 0's and 1's) is just that - simply another language. The only difference is, machine language is a language that your processor can actually understand.

Thus, a program written in the PHP language is executed simply by translating it into machine language.
