@dmc,

yes, they are. Usually, it’s done for flash cheat websites, like arcadeprehacks.

I think SWF Encrypt Amayeta is better from secureSWF Kindi.
I made a test with both programs and decompiled encrypted files with Sothink SWF Decompiler.
Results:
SWF Encrypt Amayeta – Win
secureSWF Kindi – lose
SWF Encrypt Amayeta hid values of my vars successful, and secureSWF Kindi didn’t.

Is it worth spending money for a commercial encrypter?
I mean, are crackers really going to hack your flash games?

Does secureSWF also change the filenames of all of the classes as well and not just the variable names?

How about com.adobe.corelib.JPGEncoder for instance, would that also come out as something completely different? If so, that’s awesome but if not, hmmm, maybe it’s lacking?

By the way, Thomas. Why use “Flash Secure Optimizer” by eramsoft if there available FREE solutions from DComSoft software?

We use secureSWF Professional for all our projects. It is the only one that really works and is easy to use. We’ve tried all the other software (SWF Protector & SWF Encrypt) before and it didn’t do the job and was easily defeated by decompilers.

Currently there are 3 main competitors of such software available on the market. And they are:
- SWF Protector by DComSoft;
- secureSWF by Kindisoft;
- SWF Encrypt from Amayeta;

I am using DComSoft and it fits all my requirements. I do tested them all and from my opinion SWF Protector is the best choice because it reliable and user-friendly.

secureSWF is pretty nice too, but it is very complicated and expensive.

As for the SWF Encrypt, It is more expensive then others, and I even don`t know why It provides the same functionality as others.

@Spruten : if SWF size is important for you, you can use “Flash Secure Optimizer” by eramsoft, it has more options to reduce SWF size.

For people using flex, I can recommend ‘irrfuscator’, not sure why noone mentioned it yet. Simply rewrites your source files, meaning you are able to actually even debug your actionscript code afterwards. But I’ll also try the sothink software you mentioned, didn’t try the latest version yet.
