 [RESOLVED] how to encrypt a url inside my exe (please help)
i am trying to make a software protection that will be activated from the server. i am using Inet control to test the system and its working fine. but now i notice that there is a big problem. when i compile and make the EXE file, then the link is visible in any hex editor which can be redirect from there. so i need to add some kind of encryption so that when someone open the program in any programs editor, then they dont see any link inside.
actually i have no knowledge in encryption, so i dont know what how i will make the url not visible inside my exe. so please help me.
Forgive me if I make mistakes because you know I wear really thick glass and I cannot see things well.

Re: how to encrypt a url inside my exe (please help)
Simply build the string, instead of having it sit as a single constant.
Code:
strURL = Chr$(65)
'other code
strURL = strURL & "b"
'other code
'etc.
The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.

Re: [RESOLVED] how to encrypt a url inside my exe (please help)
but one last question how can i code the link. i mean below is my code...
Code:
StrPage = Inet1.OpenURL("http://www.server.com/Authentication.html")
so now the new codes should be below?
Code:
StrPage = Inet1.OpenURL (Chr$(65)+ Chr$(51)+ Chr$(42)+ Chr$(45)+ Chr$(63))
Forgive me if I make mistakes because you know I wear really thick glass and I cannot see things well.

I think what it should be is this:
Code:
StrPage = Inet1.OpenURL(Chr(104) & Chr(116) & Chr(116) & Chr(112) & Chr(58) & Chr(47) & Chr(47) & Chr(119) & Chr(119) & Chr(119) & Chr(46) & Chr(115) & Chr(101) & Chr(114) & Chr(118) & Chr(101) & Chr(114) & Chr(46) & Chr(99) & Chr(111) & Chr(109) & Chr(47) & Chr(65) & Chr(117) & Chr(116) & Chr(104) & Chr(101) & Chr(110) & Chr(116) & Chr(105) & Chr(99) & Chr(97) & Chr(116) & Chr(105) & Chr(111) & Chr(110) & Chr(46) & Chr(104) & Chr(116) & Chr(109) & Chr(108))

Its not secure, just secure against the masses.. Anybody who decides to figure it out will be able to..
I don't know whether you're sitting with a false sense of security, or if you understand that its 100% impossible to make it totally secure
