If you really have this must to hide the html source code then you can try to do the following:

You write your own web server called "translator" with java,c++ ...etc language you normally use.

Your translator server, when it gets a page request passes on the request to your actual web server which is hidden in your local network. When translator gets the web page it turns the whole page to an image (png or jpg or...) Hyperlinks translated as hotspots in the image.

Your translator sends the image inside the minimum html required. Of course the filesize become quite monstrous and no javascripts or animations will work but.... at least the original html source is not there.

What part are you trying to hide? Just downloaded into my editor and a lot of your page's code comes up fine. Didn't bother to pick up style sheet, *.js files and other stuff that would make it display better, but I can see the code and have no problem reading it.

BTW, your page is missing the required HTML tags for <body> and <html> in case you wanted to know.

I was using the simple encryption on that one.

OK, if you want a tough one, take a look here. Just go to File->Save and save it somewhere. Now open it up to view the source. Ignore the CSS and other top parts. It's fully encrypted as far as I know.

The body and html tags are in there. Although the body is encrypted. The html and other headers are left alone.

Much, much better. I decoded some but got tired. :tazz: How much has doing your page this way affected your page rank?

Hi Ron, I guess that did the trick? :tazz:

I'm not saying it's 100% encrypted and all, but hey it's a good start ;)

I'm actually not sure about the page rank. The site (I think) says that it shouldn't affect it. I guess you can leave out the meta tags on top if you wish. My site get's lots of hits per hour (I think over 2000, good or bad, I don't know ;)).

I think this program should work best for most users. Just make sure to do your own backup before using this program. I know it creates a .bak file but if you inadvertently encrypted it again, you will lose the backup file.

learn XML & CSS that will stop people seeing your styling... but not the basic html but most of it


ow that site "http://greyknight17....jtTutorial.htm" is not that good can be easyly decoded with a little bit of work, use XML for content and CSS for styleing and it will be harder to take the coding or just use PHP

Encrypting might be the way to go.
I actually gave this a try and my web page is still concealed.  Give it a try.  Type in my site here and try to view the sourcecode.

I tested this out myself.  I even downloaded the HTML file and tried to open it in a HTML editor, but nothing shows up :tazz:  The program I recommend using is HTML Cipher.  It can disable right click if you wish also.  This program has a lot of security features which may interest you.  For my purposes, I want to allow the users to right click and copy, but they can't see the source code.  You can disable both, so no one can copy the source or the contents, at least not in a simple fashion.  I mean they could rewrite the whole web page themselves, but that would be crazy ;)

HTML source code is always visible. I obtained this in under 10 seconds.

The code is not really encripted, a symbols and spaces are given their ¿html? equivilent (sp?)

Here is a quick guide on analyzing StartDreck logs. I will try to break it down and list what each section 
  is for. No expert here myself, so if I make a mistake, feel free to contact 
  me and I will correct it. You should be able to read these logs with more comfort 
  once you see how it's broken down. Quite simple when seen as smaller parts. 
  :-)     </P>

    <P>
The log I'm using is       <STRONG>
not      </STRONG>
 the full log with       <STRONG>
everything 
        </STRONG>
checked in the configurations. If everything was checked, the log itself 
  can be quite large, especially if the user is using a modified hosts file. So 
  keep that in mind. It should cover most of the entries here nevertheless since 
  they have headings for everything here. You just won't see the actual entries.    </P>

    <P>
This log is usually requested by analysts if they want to take a deeper look 
  and HijackThis is coming up clean. The speech that is used by me will list most 
  of the sections except for mainly the NT Services and the Process Modules since 
  they can take up quite a lot of space.    </P>

The Browser Helper Objects (BHO) are the toolbars or icons that you see in 
  Internet Explorer. Many spyware programs use this to their advantage and install 
  some kind of search bar there without the user's consent in a lot of cases. 
  So if any bad BHO's are found here, you may delete the entry using StartDreck.    </P>

These are the settings in Internet Explorer. Mostly what we look for is the

:tazz: That was quick ;)

I guess I have to agree with others here. PHP is probably the way to go then.

And so you got it on your screen. PRTSCRN->OCR and we have text again.
(another way would be to set a javascript loose to dig for the right 'document' and start dumping the content)
If I don't want my money taken, I don't leave it in a public place open for everyone to grab.

Put it on a secure site, hand out accounts only to people who signed a contract
in which they state that if they leak information from your site, you get their car, their 16 year old daughter, the family dog, their left testicle/ovary and their immortal soul. :tazz:

The web simply isn't a place to hide secrets.
No matter how smart the tricks you can come up with, someone smarter will defuse them in no time.
It was cool to see some tricks shown here. Some I would never have thought of.
But the bottom line to me remains the same.

The worldwide grapevine has no secrets ;)

Success ;)

Using PHP doesn't stop people from seeing your HTML source, they just don't see the PHP code.
