Some SWF encryptors/protectors are WORTHLESS.

Rasmus Wriedt Larsen — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 12:58:54 +0000

Hey, I just found a website, making both Amayeta SWF Encrypt and DComSoft SWF Protector completely useless. Apparently those products doesn’t do any real obfuscation, just charge you a lot to do lame things with your SWF. Here is a little quote from the website:

SWF Decrypt will reverse and remove the few junk code these types of software add to your SWF file and charge you money for. The purpose of this software is to help you assess the protection solution that you have chosen. I hope it will also encourage the authors of SWF Encrypt and SWF Protector to either implement actual code obfuscation methods or discontinue their products and stop charging for junk.

Take a look at: http://www.swfdecrypt.com/

The author is recommending using SecureSWF from Kindisoft, or irrFuscator from Ambiera.
