Famous Encryption Software

[Wizet]

Is there a famous encryption softwore for noremal files and/or php files. For example like in maplestory the game files are compiled (i think) and encrypted into a .wz format.

Yes, Yes, I know I'm addicted to Maplestory.

There is Zend Guard, ionCube PHP Encoder, or codelock, and a free and open-source one, turck mmcache.

encryption for what? if you're talking about an app file, they can name them whatever they want. cod names them .iw . but essentially, they are compiled c++ files, which makes them into binary code (not readable code).

if you want to have story.php to be story.wz, you can without much effort. both involve htaccess. the first way (which i would suggest) is to add the application-add-type phpv2 .wz to htaccess (might not be the correct syntax, but it's along the lines), or use mod rewrite to make all .php to show .wz in the url bar.

How would you be able to do the first one?
Also what is the code for .htaccess and how and what would I be inserting into the code?

The .htaccess file is a hidden dot file, that I think by default does not show up in file manager. In the prompt that popped up the first time file manager was clicked in cPanel, had an option to show hidden dot files. It is like a desktop.ini for Apache, containing all the directory information and you can add code to it to change the way the directory and files are displayed to the public. If you are looking for security, that won't help much because the code is read the same way and you should look into some of the programs xav0989 suggested.

try inserting

AddType application/x-httpd-phpv2 .wz

into your htaccess file. the code is courtesy of itman ;)

That isn't working for some reason. Is my .htaccess file supposed to look like this?:

# Example .htaccess wich allows to parse .html as php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
AddType application/x-httpd-phpv2 .wz

sorry for the late reply, i didn't see you posted until today

ok, if you can parse html's as php code, then try this

# Example .htaccess wich allows to parse .html as php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .wz

i believe that the v2 on the end of the line i gave you was for people who have php version 2 on their accounts, but i'm not positive on this.

It still isn't working for me for some reason. When I type in (My site)/index.wz it comes out as a download.

If you're trying to view the WZ file there are decompiled ones around some of the maple hacking sites.
