Default Encrypt ASP CODE

Hello Guyz...

I`d like to know if there is a way to lock the source code I`ve written (ASP code) in order not to be able for other people to modify it.

I don't think there is a way to do that, unless you don't let others to work on the webserver.;)

No one that cannot directly access your files (i.e. with FTP, etc.) should be able to even see your server-side code. ASP parses the code and then sends the result in plain (X)HTML.

I believe ASP code wont be available in the source code, the result is shown in HTML as suggested by Snib [the javascript would be available in the source code if there is any]. If you want your source code not to be touched by anyone on the server, the best way is to go for folder permissions.

Hi Varg_88,

But while restricting folder permissions for others, make sure that you don't tamper the permissions for the IIS user, that would end up in other problems, may be in rebuilding the webserver, if you don't know how to rollback your changes.

I don't understand why you wanted to lock the code. After all ASP code is not a complied version. It is parsed by the asp dll when one requests for a page.

In what way do you fear that someone would modify your code?
