Creating more secure SWF(s)

Postby Lapo » 21 Dec 2007, 09:59

Here's an interesting and detailed white-paper by Adobe about hardening the security of your SWF games and applications.

Definitely worth a read.

my 2 cents...

I think there is only one way to secure AS2/AS3 code in compiled swf files which is encrypting them by other programs, such as Amayeta Encrypt.
I use this program already and I'm satisfy.

Some one can say AS3 is secure so far(unavailable for decompile). Well, I saw basic decompilers under AS3 last time, so "secure AS3" is becoming myth :)

I thought amateya hasn't released a version compatible with AS3 yet. Does anyone know a code obfuscator that works with AS3? (Amateya claim to be releasing one in Feb, but it has been delayed before so..)

Amayeta made beta version of AS3 Encrypter. I haven't seen yet full AS3 viewer program, but I tested AS3 decompiler from assembler level.

Does the free trial of Amayeta leave a water mark or something? What's the restrictions?

Hi! I use Amateya 4.0 and works perfectly with AS3.

Amayeta

Postby mariana » 03 Oct 2008, 05:57

I tried Amayeta, and frankly, it didn't work.

The test version, which the vendor says is not 100% effective, leaves a water mark on your screens, but at least it does not introduce BUGS in your code, which the full version does.

I tried it last July, and after a lot of trouble, managed to get Amayeta to refund me the 100+ that I had paid them.

My games are Flash AS2.

Guys I think you should know this:
Amayeta is MUCH more expensive then many obfuscation techniques around. The only difference between them and the one I'm using is price. Simple fact is that Amayeta knows how to market their product better then the others =P
Now check this one out:
http://www.swfprotect.net/
It costs only 30 dollars and lets you have up to 10 free encryptions WITHOUT watermark.

Just my 2 cents here, i worked with Amayeta for long time way before AS3 and its sad to say that they are not up to standards anymore. As someone already said they are all about marketing. Once you start doing some hard-core stuff such as dynamic constructor calls, unpacking parts of application into memory and accessing it there, crossreferencing multiple swfs etc. Amayeta's obfuscation stops working and since the application itself has VERY limited settings for obfuscation you are pretty much screwed.

I went through couple of obfuscators and secureSWF is the one i ended up with, its in a different league altogether.
