      What do you mean and? Your own words say encoding, not weak encryption, but encoding :D

      If I give you an executable, can you extract the source? I'd love to see that.

      I could (filealyzer,peexplorer,objdump....), but I'm not a monkey

        Yes, except that NONE of those will magically extract the source.
