exe compiler secure?

Post by fergusfog »

Hey folks,

I need to distribute a PS1 script while preventing people getting to the password inside. Basically it's for assigning licences to Office 365 users, and I don't want these guys having the creds to 365.

PowerGUI has a 'compiler' which is anything but.
PS2EXE kind of compiles it, but not really (as I understand it).
Can Sapien PS Studio hide the code satisfactorily?

Thanks,

Fergus,

Thanks Alex, very useful.

Can I suggest the link in the blog is updated? It redirects to the front page instead of the downloads.
