Encrypted Ruby Scripts

Anonymous — Sat, 15 Nov 2003 21:47:37 -0000

Hi,

I tried RubyScript2exe and I really liked it. It just worked
at my first attempt and did just what it was supossed to
do. There is just one more thing that I'd like have in
RubyScript2exe. I opened the generated exe file with a
text editor and found all of my code attached near the
end of the file. Would it be possible to have the option
to encrypt the Ruby scripts just before it is written to
the file? (and of course decrypt them before execution
begins). I could sell small applications written in Ruby if I
had a way to protect my code. The user could provide a
password or a small key as an extra parameter in the
command line if encryption is desired. I don't need an
uncrackable complex encryption algorithm, just
something small to hide the code or deter the casual
hacker.

Thanks,
