Wonderful folks, don't worry about my feelings because my methods were so quickly destroyed. I'm a big boy, and have enjoyed the search for the holy swf-grail for some time now. Thanks to Rákos, I believe I am one brick away from that wall that is higher than anyone wants to climb, and may return today with a challenge for Rákos and others.
Cool -- I like challenges like that. While I'm convinced that total protection is impossible, I do believe that there /might/ be a way to make it too difficult to be worthwhile.
As to why I just don't post my methods for examination by all, I found early on that so many people can tear down a wall and condemn it easily when they see the skeleton, without ever trying to climb the wall, and that is not a good judge of the effectiveness of the wall. But if you do not see the skeleton, it is much harder to climb that wall. All of a sudden instead of multitudes saying how silly, only a few can actually climb the wall . . . maybe one day only one or two will be able to climb the wall. Yesterday Rákos captured the swf, and then others decompiled and re-compiled it. I have slept on the method that I believe Rákos used to capture the swf, and may have an answer for it later today.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerckhoffs%27_principle> Just to give you a heads up, here's how I did it, presumably Attila used similar techniques: I captured the SWF with Wireshark, then sent it through swfmill swf2xml, changed the domain name, and it worked. I'm not going to tell you what I would have done next, though. :)
Thanks for all input, none of it was taken in a bad way, jimbo
Thanks for the challenge, Mark _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
