Need help decode this Php code

Please help me to decode this 64 base encoder. Thanks.

PHP:

 

Its Obfuscated one!
It also contains a link to the author site in that Base64 encryption!

 

I don't understand, what do you mean?

<div class="footer">

PHP:

 

A lot of overhead just make the footer...

 

I think it's their protection to stop people from removing the copyright link

@danx10 - How did you decode it btw?

 

Run the code through a beautifier and read through it, you'll realise its actually not all encoded, theirfore follow it.

 

This is something really new for me. I never know how to decode this stuff.

 

Just do as said be dan and decode this using base64

Great answer danx10. Thank you. I was try using 64base online decoder, but failed. rep added.

 

Right!
You need to decode the lines in between base64 and needs some editing hope so!
@Dan: Thanks for the Beautifier! Now only i came to know about the great tool!

 

ITS ENCODED FOR A REASON!!

If the original author wanted credit left on it, then either live with it encoded and in place, or don't use it!

 

Oops!
Decoding is not alone for Removing Credits might be adding some snippets etc,
Any way i agree to place the credits

 

Yep, thats arguable depending on the OP's motive.

Heres a quote from Chilling Effects - Information on the DMCA

 

I'll tell you straight up, if there is script which I cannot see or control on my server such as ones that often contain obfuscated file_get_contents to execute code from another server, I will damn well find out what is in there. I recommend anyone at least understand every digit of code executing on their server and under no circumstance should you ever allow remote execution using eval(file_get_contents( garbage.

On that specific topic, if you are distributing scripts with obfuscated code that execute more code from your server, you are liable for damages if your script causes the site using it to get hacked. There's no license on earth that will protect you if you control what is being executed, whether for licensing or not. Since "You" have control over portions of the code, if anything malicious happens as a result of your portion, you are legally liable for it. I've seen more than 1 situation where the script creator's server was hacked which subsequently resulted in all of the sites using the script getting hacked since he was executing code via eval(file_get_contents(...

This isn't about wanting credit for your work. 90% of themes and scripts I've seen, especially posted in the php help on DP, contain blatant spam links.

The reality of coding and the internet in general, is that if your script or theme or whatever is good enough for people to link to, they will. It is not appropriate or reasonable to ask users to keep your spammy links in a theme in the first place. If you want credit, then make it reasonable and not blatant spam. In the above example the theme had about 5 footer links including Christian MySpace, French teacher jobs. Seriously, not realistic licensing. No wonder people are hacking apart your code.

In any case there's no point in trying to hide it. Ethical programmers will leave it there or find an alternative that doesn't require your spam in it, and the others' would have removed it anyway. Save yourself the time of trying to create some absurd and massively resource consuming code just to put your links in there.

 

I think it depends on the reason for the encoding. If the licence for the script/template states that you leave the encoded part or content, then not only would be it illegal to decode but given that the original author has spent an amount of time on the script, it would also be morally right to leave it. The original author is also less likely to develop or maintain the script further. If it's not a restriction of the licence then I'd agree that there's no reason not to decode it.

It also depends on the scale of the script used. You can have a template with a link encoded, or a larger commercial script with built in licencing restrictions and hence require some sort of encoding. That developer has a right to protect their intellectual property rights and hence encode their source code.

Anyway, I think we're probably talking about 2 slightly different instances/extremes.
