XtreamLua Compiler 0.2 - Protect your lua code |
Ó
Emeric0101 from our forums released today a Compiler for Windows to stop people from stealing your Lua code. Named XtreamLua (no, that isn't a typo) Compiler v0.2, this handy application encrypts Lua code (which could otherwise be easily accessed using a simple word processor) so that nobody can steal your source and try to pass it off or using it in their own application/game. According to Emeric0101, this application is much faster than encoding the Lua file yourself and is pretty easy to use and from what we can tell by the GUI.
The application has been originally coded in French but it also has English language files included. When you run the installer, just click the button which says "Suivant" and then select "English". After that, the rest of the installation process will continue in English along with the application when it runs. There are a few grammar errors such as the button which says "Do a file", but I think you can easily determine that this means go to a directory. If you are fed up with people stealing your code or you have a very big project coming up soon, this could be for you.

this looks like the imfamous bricker program
why doesnt everyone just go open-source?
Because they don't agree with open source and/or want to protect their work. Check the forums on the release thread for more discussion.
it promotes growth in the online community and life span of your program
I thought open-source programming is about open-source programming.. nevermind.. btw.. If I want to protect my code, I just keep it to myself.. btw2.. I don't care who's using my code, if the community is richer with another game/app.. but that's me..
What about WiFi games? I don't know if you all remember the old SBA WiFi, but because it was open source, there were hackers everywhere. They could set it up to kill you with one push of a button. :/
@Highsight I don't know about SBA WiFi, but I guess that even if it wasn't open-source, it would have been only a matter of time before the flaw was found reverse-engineering the would-be-compiled program. So, that "there were hackers everywhere" wasn't because of the open-source nature of the program but only because it wasn't secure enough. However, I might have misunderstood the issue.
I have a good reason to not have open source, because in many places (including QJ) there are irresponsible little noobs that would love to "have a look" on your code, change the "created by" text and re-release it
Yeah, you misunderstood. I compiled Wedge Racer's WIFI, and I havent had a hacker. Its been out for like 4 months.
A hacker would not waste his/her time trying to make some stupid program to brick your system, The term to use would be a "Child" a real hacker has no desire to "destroy" you or your system, these little kiddies learn a bit of programming and they call them selfs hackers.. in no way will a hacker bricking your system do the hacker any good, This is what makes the difference, A hacker will "hack" something if it is a benifit to them or their friends or even an online community, But youll never see a REAL HACKER, out to just destroy any and everyones system. and YAY to pen source, this link should be removed, and on top of that im SURE the lua file could be decompiled to reveal the source to your code. but it will prevent the noobs from stealing your thunder. best bet is to write smarter code, that a noob cannot figureout how to simply change the "created by" text and claim they made it. I have done this with asp, vbscript, js, and all sorts of other "open source based" languages to prevent the avarage noob from stealing my work. Anyone who can understand the complex code will not waste their time trying to claim your work when they can be building their own things.
