asp_web_howto thread: Preventing the Viewing of ASP Source Code


Message #1 by plestj@y... on Thu, 29 Nov 2001 15:47:08
Is there a way to prevent users who run an ASP script web app the IE 

browser from viewing our source code via the "View, Source" menu? I would 

like to protect the copying of source code in a particular web 

application. Thanks for your input.

Unfortunatley, to my knowledge, there is no way you can bypass View 

Source

in Explorer, but you can get round it, to an extent, by using frames.

Altenativly you can reference this JavaScript from all the pages you 

wish to

protect, and it will disable the right mouse button. It can't even be

bluffed with a quick right - left click.

function FuncSecure(o) {

if (navigator.appName =3D=3D 'Netscape' &&

(o.which =3D=3D 3 || o.which =3D=3D 2))

return false;



else if (navigator.appName =3D=3D 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' &&

(event.button =3D=3D 2 || event.button =3D=3D 3)) {

alert("=A9 YOUR SITE NAME");

return false;

}

return true;

}



document.onmousedown=3DFuncSecure;

document.onmouseup=3DFuncSecure;

if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);

if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEUP);

window.onmousedown=3DFuncSecure;

window.onmouseup=3DFuncSecure;

if (parent.location.href =3D=3D self.location.href){

    window.location.href =3D 'http://www.YOURSITEADDRESS.co.uk/';

    alert(ShowAlert)}

hope this is of some use.

if they view source they will not view the asp source.. it will be html

source.. and no there is no way at all in the world.. to protect your html

source.. i dont care what people say.. if it is html.. then it HAS to be

sent back to the client.. do this.. go out and telnet www.google.com on port

80, hit enter a few times.. you will get some html back.. it isnt the

default page since a correct request hasnt been made.. but it is still

html.. that is how it all works..



there are methods to try to keep users from viewing source or saving

images.. by disabling right mouse clicks with javascript.. but then heck..

just go in your cach and get it there.. open it with notepad.. nuff said..



anyway.. you might search on google for "disable right mouse click with

javascript" or something.. you should get some sample scripts..

Another note.....If you do disable the right-click on

the mouse, be sure to do it in taste (if there is such

a way).  Although I don't agree, I have heard of some

people feeling alienated by disabling the mouse. 

Almost as if you assume every visitor is a thief.



I would definately NOT do this on a business site.



Something to think about.
