Really?

One way which comes to mind is to split the script into two parts, one of which runs on a trusted system where you get to define "trusted". The source on the untrusted portion may as well be regarded as open to view. The trusted portion of the source should be well hidden and perform a service sufficiently complicated that an attacker finds it cheaper to play by your rules than to write or pay for a re-implementation.

Yes, really. Splitting it into 2 parts isn't sufficiently complicated. Making it sufficiently complicated entails some kind of quantum computing that hasn't been invented yet.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
