If the client sees the code, then so can the user. I say wget and netcat or even telnet and rest my case. /Andy On Mon, 16 Jun 2003, Fred Dirkse - OIC Group, Inc. wrote:
Ben - Unless your webserver is configured improperly, it will not return the asp code to the client browser. When a .asp page is requested, the webserver first sends that page to the .asp parser which runs the code and produces the html content. If your server is setup to NOT process the .asp pages properly, it will then just blindly spit back the .asp page, code and all to your users. I am not sure on the encrypting part - is your concern that the client will see the code or the end user? F-----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Meade [mailto:ben () lanwest com au] Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 1:51 AM To: 'Security-Basics' Subject: ASP Pages Hi all, We are currently developing a project management system in ASP, and I am a little concerned about code stealing. Given that the asp pages are visible to everyone, how difficult is it for someone to download the actual asp code? (As opposed to the html that the page generates). Also, there is the option for installing the site on a clients server. Is there any way to encrypt this so that the server can read it, but the clients cannot?
