Maybe you were thinking of "the generic script compiler" at shc.html ? It takes any script, shell or perl, and compiles it into a self-decrypting RC4 encoded c-binary. It can't be read by looking at the binary, but it CAN be easily cracked by a knowledgable user. It works well however, and stymies the average computer user.
