when compile FeiYue's xy-encoded.ahk > xy-encoded.exe and then use exe2ahk > you get xy-encoded.ahk again but you don't see the understandable source
short , FeiYue's script seems protected , you can't change it
Example : start this script (xy.ahk) and click button to start link to feiyue's script
start 'FeiYue's script , drag&drop your xy.ahk, get xy-encoded.ahk

Interesting simpler version.
There’s also the powerful payload method that you probably know about already... but here it is for reference:
https://www.autohotkey.com/joe_df/autoh ... ompiler.7z

Forum topic (original): https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/8298 ... hod/page-1

But I don’t have the payload source code...

@joedf, thank you
I see the files 'payload.dll' and 'payload64.dll'
after convert is the folder 'ExtractionTemp' empty

@balintx, thank you for the VBS example ( never tried yet )
made small modification above to remove the few last characters after LastLine
and added example to AHK source code Encryptor from user 'FeiYue'

This is a good example of using FeiYue's Encryptor, but it's a bit confusing as to the goal.

For example, the title is EXE2AHK. So with your original script it's understood as a decompiler of AutoHotkey.

You then created an impressive uncommented encoded script example, using Encryptor, that goes to the FeiYue link. However, you are not decrypting or decoding the contents of that script, though you can decompile if it's a normally compiled .exe.

It would probably be best if you explained the purpose of your example script or why you linked to FeiYue's Encryptor, so that people can more clearly understand how the 2 different scripts are related.

[garry]

when compile FeiYue's xy-encoded.ahk > xy-encoded.exe and then use exe2ahk > you get xy-encoded.ahk again but you don't see the understandable source
short , FeiYue's script seems protected , you can't change it

[elmo]

garry,

Sounds like you have a good grasp on this. May we trouble you to outline the steps to use the software. Thanks.

[SOTE]

Garry, you explained and demonstrated your point. Thanks. And it's probably good that people understand what EXE2AHK can or can't do.

[joedf]

interesting... I would like to see what the encryption method is, or do we have to reverse engineer it from the MCode...?

Joedf, refer to Feiyue's post, as he's the creator. https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=42494

[joedf]

Thanks.

@guest3456, I've changed the script to English, but I don't want to repeat it to the "Scripts And Functions" forum.
If I provide the C source code for the machine code, the Encryptor is cracked.

[SOTE]

Interestingly, it appears older AutoIt executables could be decompiled with a similar method. Likely AutoIt v3.2.5.1 and earlier scripts. Renaming AutoIt executables to .txt, you can see the script in notepad. From AutoIt version 3.3 and up, they switched to a different method of compiling, where viewing the executable contents in notepad no longer works. It's now somewhere around the protection level of AutoHotkey_H and Encryptor by FeiYue for AutoHotkey_L.

However, AutoIt 3.3 and above executables are still victimized by specialized 3rd party tools designed to extract it's source. These tools aren't so widely available, are hard to find, usually from dangerous sources, and are specialized for the task. Despite this, the level of security is better than it was for them previously, but comes at a cost. AutoIt users can't ordinarily recover/decompile their newer version scripts once in .exe form, which causes some problems and dissatisfaction, and possibly a few going to extremes.

By contrast, AutoHotkey gives more options, which probably suits a larger range of people. With the default AHK_L being easier to recover with safer AHK scripts like what garry has posted here, and then a range of higher level protection as needed, if the person looks for and studies on alternatives.

Cool! Thanks for sharing

[Pandolfo]

Hello I made a script and saved it in exe. The fact is that I formatted my computer and ended up losing the ahk version, and I need to make some changes.

Note, I have the password But I can't convert the script, could someone help me? I looked in several places and I couldn't find anything reporting easy and efficiently.

I'm trying to convert the exe script to ahk, but when I pull it to ahk the script is all messed up like it's encrypted and I don't remember doing that. Would you help me?

[garry]

have you tried with notepad++ and see ascii at end ( ctrl+end )

[Pandolfo]

I already tried, but it gets all messed up.

This is on the bottom line.

Please help me; need to recover in ahk version without damaging the script

Maybe you can get the source code with "Rescource Hacker" from http://www.angusj.com
Load your exe with it and look under RCDATA.
Good luck!

[lmstearn]

Thanks. Worked with no issue on MPressed executable.
