Re: ASP Pages

["M. Zeeshan Mustafa" <security () zeeshan net>]

Ben,
Regarding the asp encryption thing, you should look more for "server
components" also called activex/com. You can do the code part of your
program into the component. I would suggest you to code all the logic in
server component and call them to flush output to clients browser. Also
there is a tricky/easy to crack -- way todo the same task without doing too
much recoding. Use vbscript's execute(...) or javascript's eval(..) methods,
simply copy-paste your asp (vbscript) code in an server component, and make
it returned as string on a method's call, pass that string into execute()
method, and it will execute the string supplied by method, this way is not
completely secure, but good when you have to deploy your already done
programming within no time.

Hope this would help.

Regards

ZM

Evaluating SSL VPNs' Consider NEOTERIS, chosen as leader by top analysts!
The Gartner Group just put Neoteris in the top of its Magic Quadrant,
while InStat has confirmed Neoteris as the leader in marketshare.
     
Find out why, and see how you can get plug-n-play secure remote access in
about an hour, with no client, server changes, or ongoing maintenance.
