Encryption EXE?

Post by imigj1 »

I have a Script that contains a username and a password. When compiling the exe in powershell studio is the data encrypted? If so how?

Thanks for the link what are you using in the package script to "encrypt" the script? is it a type of Obfuscation? I know the security team here will want to know before I will be able to use the script.

The exact nature of the cypher is not disclosed. It is not strong enough to be subject to U.S. export regulations.

As the article states, you should avoid using passwords in scripts, nothing is unbreakable.
