Hiding Source Code

I'm trying add a paypal button to my site in order to begin selling an ebook, but I don't know how to hide the return location. How do I prevent my source code from being accessed?

 

What do you mean by the return location?

 

Well why dont you use some encoder like zend encoder or try truckmm cache i have it running on my server and it can encode too your source code.

 

You can encrypt your PayPal buttons using the generator on the PayPal website itself.It is one of the options near the bottom if I remember correctly.

For more security you could consider using IPN (Instant Payment Notification) although this will require some knowledge of server-side scripting (ASP,PHP etc).

Trying to prevent people seeing your source code is a waste of time really, if they want it bad enough, they'll find it. Traditionally, people have used Javascript to prevent right-clicking on a webpage. Of course this is only works if a) the user has javascript enabled and b) they do not realise that they could just as easily click View >> Source from the menu.

I would recommend the use of IPN since it allows you to control access to your products instead of relying on the user to simply end up there as a result of a successful transaction.Alternatively you could use a third party service like Payloadz which handles all that for you. They do have a free package but that only allows up to $100 of sales a month.

Hope this helps

 

You can not only encrypt your paypal code, but your entire page.

I don't think that you can do it. Anyone would be able to see your HTML code.

 

Trust me i have totally hidden my sites code and nothing but garbage shows up so its very much possible to hide source code, but i dropped the idea cause it destroys the site as bots see only garbage than

 

I've never used a page encryptor before.....so how would that work? If you change the text content of the page from HTML to whatever, how does the browser know how to render that?

Sounds interesting

 

For the main page, you will see a code, that is it.
Right click or use the view on the toolbar, you will not see the html code for that page.
Interesting about the search engines....if true, they will not see the page, then it should be great for those pages you do NOT want indexed for the world to see.
Like the download pages, stuff like that.

 

Hi Iowadawg,

I just found your other thread where you are selling this script. But the problem is that it isn't encryption. There is nothing encrypted about it, it is just converting text to hexadecimal and then using Javascript to evaluate it.

But then I guess it could never really be encrypted otherwise browsers wouldn't have a clue what to do with it (non-Javascript browsers don't either way).

 

Maybe I should really change the encryption to read "converting text to hexadecimal and then using Javascript to evaluate it" on the site.
That should make noobs scratch their heads....lol

Yeah, the site is the basic site that is part of the script.
If I get enough business, hey at $3.95 and a person can use it as much as they want (no databases, so resources used pretty low on the server), I should get a few people if I promoted it.
Then get a new template for the site.
