We have tested the Obsidium but it cant protect either of the exeoutput for PHP. Please kindly help us suggest other possible third party application that can do this. Thanks
Hello support
Obsidium software protection API wont work with UPX as the exe compressor , so I disabled the UPX compressor in Application Output / Deployment and now the produced exe file is 10% larger.
After reading the Obsidium web site, I am assuming that the key process for security that Obsidium software protection API is Obfuscation of the scripting code. Is there any other advantages to its use? without getting into the Obfuscation processors?
The installation program has to also install the obsidium.dll in the installed application folder.
Obsidium does not obfuscate PHP source code. For that, you have the option of encrypting PHP files in ExeOutput. However, Obsidium brings additional tools such as licensing options, trial expiration and so on.
The obsidium.dll is unnecessary once you protected the EXE file with Obsidium. No need to distribute it.
Thanks Support for that clear answer. The security we already have in the ExeOutput exe is fairly good from what I understood; you can obvuscate all the php and java files then have them encrypted before compilation. Do you agree or is there a benefit to using Obsidium for extra security if I don’t need the management consul of Obsidium ?
