Hi list

I run a search looking for encryption program for protecting SWF files, and
found many such apps.

Can you recommend an encryption that protects well while not affecting the
proper execution of the file?

Pro: Obfuscates nicely (not secure of course but a nice deterrent)
Con: doubles swf filesize in a lot of cases

1. are you taking about Amayeta or other solution.
2. If Amayeta, what do you mean by " not secure", is there a way to crack it
?

Given enough time anything can be cracked. Modern encryption is dependent on
very fundamental problems of finding discrete logarithms or factoring large
prime numbers.

What makes me suspicious about Amayeta is that they try to equate obfuscate
with encryption, where perhaps steganography would be the more appropriate
description. Moreover, their site seems mostly vanilla, like the phrase
"1000x safer".

Also, this whole decompiler/obfuscation seems like a useless arms race. My
rule of thumb is that if I write anything that is worth stealing in flash,
chances are it will be stolen.

Spot on. But obfuscation does help to deter some script kiddies who think
they are oh so clever...

Yes Amayeta and yes it can most likely be cracked. Don't rely on obfuscation
for security. I see it as a deterrent, nothing more.

Hi,

You know, I had a bet with a hacker that he couldn't bust a SWF I had
created with the help of FMS. He wasn't an ace hacker, but he was
confident that he could bust any SWF. All I had to do was a server-
side call and sucker punch him with an red-herring variable named
"password." I won the bet, and I don't count security as one of my
strong points.

Cheers,
Bill

I consider obfuscation just another security layer. Of course this will not 
make my swf's totally secure, but as someone mentioned below, it will discou
rage those script kiddies even further.
