    Need beta testers with web servers

    I am testing a new file encryption program written in VB 6 Enterprise version. Interested candidates can contact me via ICQ. The number is 35943894.

    This program will only encrypt files that are found on a webserver, like .htm, .txt, .pl, or .cgi.

    I couldn't see any use for something like this for normal end-users.

    The program doesn't encrypt the file directly. Instead, it takes the encrypted text, and puts it inside another file, perhaps in another location, thereby creating an encrypted backup of the file. That way if a hacker somehow manages to erase the regular files, the user can simply decrypt the backup using the same algorithm that was used to encrypt it, and it'll be as good as new.

    A good VBScript programmer can also decrypt the file before it is loaded, then re-encrypt it once it's loaded, I just save it to a different file just in case the server operator doesn't know VBScript.
