Protecting code

[masheen]

How good is Mpress protection? Can you give any tips for protecting code?
Maybe third-party compiler, i use AHK 1.1.26

I just checked it for you, I compiled a script using MPRESS, and if you rename it to .txt you can see
the entire script in the code. So Mpress isn't protecting your source. It's just making your .exe files smaller.

Unfortunately I have no further recommendations.

You can try uisng AutoHotkey_H to protect source code but you would need to recompile it with your own password, see Decompiling

Compiler is included in downloads, to change the password you need to recompile AutoHotkey.exe itself: https://github.com/HotKeyIt/ahkdll

or it?

You need to compile ahkdll (AutoHotkey_H) and change the password or password technique here: https://github.com/HotKeyIt/ahkdll/blob ... .cpp#L3200.
Ahk2Exe is the compiler for scripts and you can read about v2 here: https://autohotkey.com/v2/.

I cannot! I always compile with the mpress option in the compiler that's delivered with ahk.

No, you need to download AutoHotkey_H 1.1.26.00, change the password/technique and recompile with Visual Studio.

AutoHotkey 1.1.26.00 and AutoHotkey_H compatible?

[HotKeyIt]

Yes, but it uses the default password AutoHotkey, so it is rather easy to decompile!

[jeeswg]

Do you have to recompile AHK, or can you just change the password by editing the AHK exe binary?

I assume you could but try to find it without hacking tools

Sorry, I should have mentioned that you need to use compiler included in download pack.
1. Download
2. Extract ahkdll-v1-release-master.zip
3. Copy ahkdll-v1-release-master\Win32w\AutoHotkey.exe to ahkdll-v1-release-master\Compiler\Ahk2Exe.exe
4. Double click Ahk2Exe.exe
5. Select correct Base File (.bin)
6. Use compression or/and encryption checkboxes.
7. Press > Compile Executable <

When I ran PC first time I did sucessful compile my script by your quote. After I did some changes via SciTe for my script and tryied again compile it, and now "Could not extract script from EXE." error message. But simple scripts (like MsgBox, Hello!) he still sucesfull compile and I can run them for full stability.
In Base File I select v1.1.26.0 AutoHotkeySC.bin (..\Win32w)
My AHK_Hv1 into C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey_H v1 (here is I call Ahk2Exe.exe)
My AHK into C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey

This is a bug?
