Reverse compile VB EXE

[chrisjk]

Hi

I have heard it is possible to reverse compile VB EXE's..this concerns me because if anyone can do it, they may find out how my copy protection works, and my encryption functions etc.

Is it possible to stop people doing this or are us decent VB programmers at the mercy of these criminals?

Any advice most welcome.

Regards,

If it ain't broke - don't fix it :)

You can de-compile 1-5 6 will come shortly most likely.
Besides protection can be bypassed by de-compiling to asm or using softice. I wouldn't worry too much.

DiGiTaLeRoR,
I wrote a VB5 program, and brought it to work. Then I lost my HDD at home, and with that, the source for my program. I spent 2 days on the net looking for a decompiler for VB5. Didn't find any. :(

it's an on-line decompiler your program will have to be extremely small though for it to work
