Hi

Is it possible to encrypt a script? I mean hiding it. I saw a script which starts:

 

 

#targetengine tableAlignOnLongestLine
eval("@JSXBIN@ES@2.0@MyBbyBnAOMSbyBn0AGJTnA

 

But how do it?

    Hi @mateuszp13156491, are you using VSCode as your IDE? If so, ExtendScript Debugger has a command "Export as Binary" (command-shift-J on Mac). Type "Export bin" in the command palette and you should see it.

    No more than it's ever been possible to encrypt runtime code. You can hide it from a casual observer, but if it runs, a competent programmer/developer can unhide it.

      JSXBIN can obfuscate the code but there are tools that can decompile it, so to better protect your code you can use a second layer of obfuscation. JsxBlind is one such script the obfuscates jsxbin files and has been created by our very brilliant collegue @Marc Autret. See the following links for more information on JsxBlind, its free so no worries there as well
