What kind of script is this?

[domainpush]

I was wondering what type of script some sites are using that will display a website but not show its source codes? I am wanting to build a nice portfolio but do not want my sites just simply stolen.

Do you know any good scripts that will do this?

Thanks

As far as I know, there's no way around this, if someone is intent on stealing your source code, and say you have it encoded, which can be done free online using tools already available, there's always a way to decode it.

If you're using a programming language, say PHP for example, it gets parsed into HTML, which is all someone viewing your source would see, therefore it's harder to steal as they'd have to program it themselves and don't have access to your actual scripts because they get parsed by the server.

Hope I explained that right and that it helps.

Google for OBFUSCATOR + "language you use".

The only thing available to people is the output from the server. Any server-side logic is pretty much safe. Client side scripts - Javascript etc can be readily obfuscated which makes it (more or less) useless for people in terms of being able to use it without permission.

Caveat:

If you SELL your script for others then it's more difficult because I would recommend people NOT use obfuscated code because you don't know what is in it. In this case you may have to release the source - or come to some arrangement.

Children:

Do NOT run software that is in anyway encoded on your site! Do not use STOLEN downloaded Worpress Templates etc... they will take advantage of you. BUY the original or use a CC free licence. Support your local developers not hackers.

Sites that are built with Flash are harder to steal, that may be what you are looking for.

but if you want to show off sites you have made but not let anyone see the design, you an take a "screen shot" or "screen capture" of what the site looks like in the browser and show that image to people so they can see your work.

One thing you can do to protect your work is use CSS tags or other things that have unique names. Use some Javascript on your site and use variables or other things that are only yours. Also give your images unique names. If you find someone has stolen your work you can report these unique things to the hosting provider and file a complaint. Most hosting providers will warn the person or close their hosting account.

Thank you! I am going to take your advice and just use screen shots... :tu:
