From: Didier Date: 2006-09-04T12:27:31+09:00 Subject: how to hide part of the source passwords etc I do some stuff that encapsulate calls to various systems (os api, erp queries, databases access) and if the results are no secret some passwords used internally are. How to solve the issue? example: one program to create a Windows AD user and use internally higher credentials...(runas..) You may ask how is it protected now? Certainly not perfectly but it is in the compiled versions and kids under 3 will not set a breakpoint. regards DD
