What exactly PHP Obfuscation means.., i mean what it will do...! Is it possible for us to make our own..with out any software..!!! And one more thing.., what is the difference b/w Encode and encryption...!
Just get a dictionary or google it man. lol I don't know what "PHP Obfuscation" means, but I know what obfuscated code means - it means it's a code that's been made too difficult to understand (see wiki). Last time I check, I think encode and encryption are the same.. anyone, correct me if i'm wrong
i know a bit.., Obfuscation will converts normal php script to some thing like not understand by the humans.., but i need experts answers...!!! i clearly know php encode and encryption are not same........!! but i don't know the exact difference that's why i am asking
Encoding means that you can decode the text of the original text, if you know what algorithm was used to encode the original text. Encryption requires that you have the key and perhaps other information, such as a salt value to decrypt the encrypted result "text" and know what algorithm was used to encrypt the original text in the first place. Encoding source code is an attempt to obtain security through obscurity, while encryption, depending on several factors can be quite secure, so long as the key and or any other information required to complete the decryption is kept confidential (secret).
1. Obfuscation = Make the input confusing/unreadable. (Least secure) 2. Encoding = Encoding make the input unreadable unless decoded. 3. Encryption = Often one way process, make the input unreadable and undecodable. (Most secure)
