Holy Shit Batman - sites popping up to decode zend encoded files!
January 5, 2006
I have yet to find a response by anyone from Zend on this matter but it seems sites are popping up all over the place that can decode Zend Encoded scripts. Since my company is a customer of this product and rely on this product I'm quite scared as to the slowness of Zend's response. Being in a competitive security businesses if our competition can decode our scripts and use that new information to release security bulletins about our product it could be horrible for us. 20% of our code was written by a guy who barely knew php years back so I'm glad no one can see it. This is bad indeed.

Although it's been known for a while that none of those encoding methods were ever really 'secure', to have this kind of service available online is shocking. To have no official word from any of the companies whos products this effects is just as bad imho. I feel for anyone who spent hundreds on the software compromised here.

Any given layer of security can be cracked. Simple as that.

obviously security is flawed, however this has been out for months and still no update from zend to either change the encoding or offer a statement that they are working to resolve this.

I tried this one out: http://www.qinvent.com/cyrj/dezender/index-en.php .. it had absolutely no problem decoding the Zend Encoded files I threw at it. Fortunately Zend Encoded files are still more secure than those obfuscated through other means, such as SourceCop, see my blog: http://evilcode.net/sjg/blog/2006/02/php-protecting-your-code-zend.html

Well everybody is saying that Zend can be cracked, evrybody sais is easy, but nobody says an reliable tehnique step by step to decode it. Forget those service wich are asking money. If we want to be better , we must use open source and share knowlege and like this those big company gians will be forced to make it better because in fact here is about protection of the coders wich are working hard. I belive that everything can be decoded but the problem is HOW HARD IS IT ? So if anyone know a reliable method to decompile an encoded file with Zend or Ioncube please post it here. I've tryed Vulcan Logic Disambler but is no use because i get some unknown opcodes. So if anyone is soo good in decompiling why do not open an opensource project about this or share some tehniques. I belive right now those sites wich are offering online decompiling service are making more money than Zend or Ioncube. Because is a lack o knowlege here. I belive this is not right for the average user/ programmer. Thank you and i waiting answers about this. PS: Excuse my english ... :(

it's rather simple to decode any php file that has been encoded. why not share? well the point is simple really, if you share your technices then no one is gonna purchase your services because then they can do it theirselves. so whats wrong with decoding source that been encoded? well i don't see a problem with it personally. i made my site around it so that i might make some money from ppl who lost the original source's. nothing can stop us developers from comming up with ways to make a buck or make you big companies out there nervous. we refuse to decode any files from zend if you don't have a license to them. it's that simple

Obviously you haven't come across programmers that abuse the privilege of being able to encode a file. It's sad that 9/10 programmers I have dealt with will put in hordes of backlinks and attributions to their skills in the Zend encoded PHP files to their scripts, nevermind the fact I pay $500 for each one on average. One programmer for instance refused to remake a file for my family oriented website by simply taking out the linkback to his XXX scripts sites with links to all the other XXX sites he sells to. Dezending is a godsend for anyone who's actually paid money and been screwed royally by such programmers, all you out there looking to use it to steal their work, that's another story, can't speak for you. But truly, at least in my case, if programmers didn't take advantage, I wouldn't be looking for how to decode Zend.

Finally, finished with encoded scripts running on Your server. Can you trust encoded scripts ? No. Some scripts do not run on specific platforms etc. When You run encoded scripts on a server, You are not on the internet for decades. You do not understand the importance of Opensource. It all started with: http://derickrethans.nl/vld.php And I am very happy with it.

You know what, I think that using an encoder helps to protect files, but like anything (door locks, an alarm) if someone really really really wants access to the file they will get it. However, the script is better protected than one that isn't encoded. In addition, I understand that Zend has released a new version now (this article is fucking old) which removes all of these issues. I heard the other encoders have followed suit and that this isn't possible with the more modern methods they use. I've just tried a test encoded file and I am right - it can't be decoded

A developer fraudulently used IONCUBE on our website. We paid over $10,000 for the work and it sucks. No one can fix it as everything is encrypted. I found 14 files that were encrypted and used zendecode to decode. They were great! We found another 82 files that need to be decoded and zendecode doesn't do this any more as the are selling their business. Western Union won't send funds to www.qinvent.com . Please help me find someone to decode IONCUBE asap. THANK YOU!

Just a little note about the decode/ encode thing. That's all very well when it's your own code, but can you trust coded third partie scripts? Think about it... normal scripts in abundance on the net mostly open. When i see a script and it's code locked i wonder, specialy if it's nothing special like a blog or shopping cart. When it's free i think it's free and not open it's danger, a new kind of trojan... it's evil. You trying to protect your code or you hiding your code, maby you ripped it from somebody, who knows. Bring on the decoders and see... john

I agree with john, I can turn off internet trafic on my local computer and watch the tasks and other things to find trojans. I can not watch my rented servers trafic the same way. If I buy a payment system script that is zended, all of my customers data could be sent to anyone the script writer wants. or a backdoor password to let them in as admin in my shopping cart script that is zended. just not a good idea when you have no way to track or trace the traffic. frank

I need one ioncube file decoded. I have an urgency. I paid for a lifetime licence of a game script and i set the site up for sale for 25k with 5,000 members, 800 usd revenues from ads.. etc.. 2 days left in the sale and poof the site goes down because the script creator linked the licence to his own site which his host shut down due to having a phishing site in his account. He immediately removed the phishing site... got his back up.. didnt even reply to my urgent emails and now still hasn't replied 14 hours later nor reactivated my licence and I've less than 36 hours on a 25k sale.. I'm beyond pissed off and financially screwed now.. It's one single file.. I'd like decoded to remove the licence dependancy alltogether whether he likes it or not over this. Hell I've developed his script 10 x what it was already and was going to give him the update but now after potentially losing 25k i need some serious help as im now out of time. Email me please at admin @ gangsters.cc if you can help.. I'm in utter amazement and if I lose 25k over this I'm about to blow my lid

deZender Runing on localhost! Free FULL-FEATURED Trial! LOW PRICE!! It is true that a lot of people think that deZender is a fake. However, a free FULL-FEATURED trial is started. If you have a try, you may change your opinion. deZender Runing on localhost Attention: 1. This is my personal computer, my localhost version of dezender. The page that you view now is a shell. 2. Everyone can have a FULL-FEATURED trial without any restriction, however LOCALHOST version of dezender is expected to buy. 3. This DeZend does not support PHP5, please PAY ATTENTION TO this statement. Like a excellent doctor can not treat all the patients, some encoded files could not be decoded properly. Please understand, thank you. (Getting an empty decoded file means that an error occurs. ) 4. Please upload only PHP files. No other file accepted. https://218.77.58.44/zend/english.php https://218.77.58.44/zend/english Certificate Problem?

Lol @ everyone who says decoding is impossible. Protip: php is open source, mod the script parser to drop the decoded input to a .txt file and forever will every encoded script be decoded, no matter what. If php can run it, it can dump it.
