Obfuscating software (also known as obfuscators) is software designed to
inhibit reverse engineering of software even when source code is available, by converting it to obfuscated code, making the source code far less readable and almost impossible to understand by a human being.
Microsoft recommends using the Script Encoder to obfuscate the ASP files, so in case the web server is compromised, the hacker (or cracker) would be unable to find out how your ASP applications work. The Script Encoder works also on JScript and VBScript files. Note that the encoded JScript is only functional in Internet Explorer. However, in the documentation, it states that "Note that this encoding only prevents casual viewing of your code; it will not prevent the determined hacker from seeing what you've done and how.". In fact, it is indeed possible, as shown by the Windows Script Decoder, created on August 1, 2000 by Mr Brownstone.
