I don't know so much about it cause I use my own, script version of cryption software. anyways it's all online here so check and see if you get your needed results: http://kixtart.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=002560 _________________________ ! download KiXnet

The debug switch can only be specified when you originally ran KiXcrypt.exe There are checks in place which will make it hard for you to intercept the unencrypted file, especially if you have used the high security flags. If you get really stuck then mail me the crypted.exe (you'll need to rename it to crypted.xxx or something or my anti-virus software will drop it) and I'll decrypt it. If you've used the "-p password" option you will need to include that. On a side note, KiXcrypt does not remove the original script - how did you manage to lose it?

Simple add a switch/option would make this tool very useless. greetings. _________________________ email scripting@wanadoo.nl homepage scripting@wanadoo.nl \| Links \| Summary of Site Site KiXforms FAQ kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| FAQ & UDF help file UDF kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| mirror USA \| mirror europe UDF scriptlogic library collection UDFs \| mirror MCA

Administrator Registered: 2000-01-24 Posts: 4946 Loc: Leatherhead, Surrey, UK	Tan, I guess when you say quote: I think it would be very secure if Kixcrypt... you mean KiXtart rather than KiXcrypt? KiXcrypt doesnt execute the files, it calls an external interpreter to execute them. While it was created for KiXtart it could just as well be AWK, PERL, DOS BAT interpreter etc. The problem is that KiXtart does not have a method of reading a script other than from a plain text file. If KiXtart could accept the script as piped input, and then re-open the keyboard as stdin on end of file we'd be half way there. [ 06 March 2002, 09:08: Message edited by: Richard Howarth ]

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	richard is speaking something now... allthou we can do KiXscripts (like the ones I posted here) that do the job and work inside the kix process and do not need any temp-files... they are slow... that is the reason why, if we want good security, we need to have it internally from kixtart. I'm not asking from ruud a open source, but what if he would make kix-exe which has crypting capability based on the code ppl has done. or just add the pipe-capability. cheers, _________________________ ! download KiXnet
