[tester_geniusd]

Hello

Obfuscating

Is true. Code can be extracted .

I dont know if Zend is Obfuscating the code ... try to find some program what can Obfuscating your code and after that try to compile with Zend.

Is imposible to protect better ... only if you find something for a good Obfuscating .

Regards
Adrian

If you're talking about Zend Guard, it is not just a simple obfuscating mechanism, they also encode the source code. Reverse engineering is possible (as for other languages, C, Java), but definitely is not easy at all.

you could encode it. But its simple to decode it.
See http://uk2.php.net/base64_decode

(ie you encode it, then eval base64_decode($encodedstring);. [[note havn't tested that so it might not work but its the general idea]])

It isn't very secure. But it is the easiest method.

you may try ioncube but the server that's gonna run your php scripts needs to have ioncube loader installed on their server for it to be read;

or try sourceguardian;

or sourcecop (cheap compared to others)

Scary for developers who spend thousands on protecting their code.

Maybe take a look at this

Looks painful tho

Anyone tested phprecovery or similar PHP decoder? I would imagine that Zend selling their Guard suite get the same question all the time and I don't think they sit there and do nothing to secure/harden the compilation process.

Wow, I wish the encoding companies would do something about this. I mean, if you're spending thousands on protecting scripts, I'm sure you've sent $20 on a simple USB pen drive to back up your data (at least I did). The only thing this is for is abuse.

As experimental, I doubt we'll see it being used for commercial scripts any time soon.

I dont know if that software works with the latest version of zend but I know they did change alot in the latest version of zend to combat those sort of things.
