asptoday_discuss thread: Asp source code protection.


Message #1 by "Anthony" <anthony9887@h...> on Wed, 12 Dec 2001 20:03:42
Does anyone know of protecting asp source code on a server, so that no one 

can view it locally on the hard drive, not over the web view source.



Thanks,

Tony

Hi Tony,



By its nature, ASP is a server-side scripting language, so any processing

that gets done on the server is returned to the client as pure HTML...no raw

source code or secret scripts.



HTH,

Jason

Well Tony,



The only way you can protect your code from snoopers or/and code-changers 

is to change it to a Visual Basic component encapsulating the business 

logic in the component and keeping the presentation logic in ASP.



OR.



You could finish coding your pages, make a back up - you'll need it, 

then take all comments out

take all tabs, returns, spaces etc

find and replace across your site any sensible variables names with 

nonsense.

Like some of my coding - I do this as I go along (well everyone else 

thinks so!)
