ionCube Nulling advice

    Hi guys,

    I'm a software developer who protects our work with ionCube. I'm sick of seeing people nulling my work and selling it on for $50. Can anyone provide me with some guidance on if it's possible to make ionCube 100% 'decryption proof' ie stop it from being reversed? I can't believe that the developers of ionCube are too lazy to look into this as I have reported it several times. I have read about obfuscation which apparently works a bit.

    No encoding is uncrackable coz all they do is change the algorithm of codes .. but the problem is they give u the decoders too so these decoders if cracked can reveal the code easily

    Have you looked at maybe using some other PHP Encryption method, as there is quite a few different methods out there.

    WHMCS is use ioncube and i don't think that anyone is null their script.

    - Maybe "your client" is upload your script as a null script?

    Well nothing is perfect , ion cube too :)
    But you can create some special security software for your scripts, software that will connect with your database and check license of that software

    I have seen many places with WHMCS scripted nulled along with VB, IPB, and other scripts. So it is possible.

    Ioncube is the hardest one to be nulled. However it can be nulled. Connecting to your database etc will not give you a solution. Update the software quite often :)

    After the PS3 getting hacked, I truly believe that nothing is 100% secure nowadays... You just have to have faith that most people will do the right thing and buy the software...

    This is why I don't sell software anymore.

    When I did sell software I used a few methods to help prevent it from being nulled.

    1.) Software Encryption with Key passed through the api call.
    2.) aval the code
    3.) Threaten to sue

    Number 3 works really well, and most of the time its pulled within 48 hours.
