Asp.net :: How To Protect Flash From Getting Downloaded
Feb 15, 2012
I am developing a elearning site and we have developed our courses in Flash. I want to know how we can prevent our courses from getting download from our site. Technology used for developing website is ASP.NET with C#.
How would you be able to stop people from downloading flash video from your site instead of viewing it in a flash player. I would like to prevent people from downloading the flash video by ripping the stream. I am not looking for 100% prevention but ways to make this difficult and annoying.
I would like to protect my flash files. I would like to block any decompilers,protect actionscript and also protect graphics. Some time ago,I tried to decompile a swf and when I placed it inside a decompiler , it showed me a login form and no graphics.I believe that is the ultimate protection method.Do you have any idea what software can do that ?
I downloaded Flash, extracted it, and open the folder. However,when i click on setup.exe, nothing pops up. I looked inside task manager and see that the setup is using up 50% cpu but nothing pops up.I am using vista home premium sp2.
I'm starting a project that will build a flash file with quite complex capabilities. I expect the size of the swf/swc files will be quite big. In order not to slow down the page download, can I build the swf file so only immediately needed components are loaded with the page and other later-stage components can be silently loaded in the background?
I wanted to know if there is a way to embed a pdf file into a flash document to be downloaded by the customer. I want them to be able to click on the thumbnail version of the file to start the download of the high res version of that file. I am making an interactive cd so the files would be stored on the cd itself. I know I could do it by storing the files on the internet but I would like to keep everything local
I was wondering if there is a script so that when a flash file is no longer on a specific server it stops working. So basically if it is on a specific website it will work but once its downloaded, or even uploaded to another site it doesn't work any more?
I have made many games is it any way that I can protect my swf from flash developers who want hack my game?First I was tried way load game swf's into preloader swf and call it by Iframe most flash developers just get only my preloader.swf unable to get game. now i am searching way that to protect swf from flash dicompilors???
Is there any "client side only" way to protect a SWF so it'd only be possible to load it from domain X? I'm aware of the server side options such as checking the referrer but unfortunately my server is a "static" CDN where this implementation isn't possible. I wonder why flash cross-domain security files do not seem to handle this scenario as well.
I'm working on important project using Flex framework and i want to keep my algorithms and code secret. Is it possible to somehow protect swf file from being decompiled? I don't want someone extract my code using flash decompilers.
Is flash the best bet to keep images from being stolen? Is there any way to steal images from websites that use flash to display images. I heard that we can use firebug to download flash images. Is this correct?
I have been building an application using CS4. I currently load the swf file into a byte array of another swf to prevent easy access, but I have been told that this will not keep out more experienced users. How can I improve on my current method to best protect my code from being stolen?
I have a flash interface that uses php to write/read vars.So if someone wants to hack our website all he has to do is look at the code and send some vars manually to the .php file. I've seen some encryption apps that claim to fully protect your swf but at the same time there are those who claim to decompile protected ones.Is there any better way to protect the php>flash communication?
I have used settings.xml file in my swf file. Now i am very sure, somebody can grab the swf file, decompile it and get the full path of the settings.xml file. If they can do that, they can see everything inside the settings.xml file which contains lots of thing. Now my question is how to protect that xml file from getting grabbed when typed the full URL. One solution is to ecrypt/obfuscate the swf file, but i don't trust them fully. If given a little time, I can myself decrypt the swf.
Does anyone know why Flash videos do not cache when Initially downloaded.
If you wait for a flash video to download filly then refresh the browser the video shows the download bar loading again. Unlike images where the download bar only appears when you first load the image after that its cached in the browser.[url]...
I've noticed something weird at IE. When i have a flash object (.swf) inside a page, then any action/function inside $(document).ready starts after the swf object has been fully loaded. (While in firefox, it doesn't need the swf to be fully loaded)
I have a problem to open a file after it is downloaded with flash player 8 by using the FileReference.download method. after the file is downloaded from the server on my computer this can't be opened. So,
Adobe Reader shows the following error:
Abobe Reader couldn't open "Unidad1.pdf" because it is either not a supported file type or 'coz the file's been damaged(for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decode).
I save alot of web pages while surfing the web , but when opening them I always get the annoying "Adobe has stopped a potential unsafe operation" security warning. Most times this is from a little flash banner, ect.Is there anyway to disable this warning? The computer doesn't even have internet access.
I need to protect images embedded in a swf file. I've noticed Swf Encrypt scrambles the images, like so:
How is something like this achieved ? How does image scrambling work ? I've noticed the image is stored a bitmap. Not sure how information is stored.I imagine it would be possible to use something like AS3SWF to access the content of a swf, but what would I need to change for the image swf tags ? I don't know much about security/obfuscation/encryption, so any tips will be handy. The programming language for this shouldn't matter much.
I have an alchemy compiled swc which contains methods to perform certain key algorithms. These methods should only return values only if user is authorized(bought license from online service) for security purpose. So I am planning to add another SWC on top of this, which have all the licensing code stuff. But when I import the Alchemy generated swc inside my custom swc, all the methods of alchemy are exposed.
I have flash player in my web site for playing the mp3 files.But if someone uses "viewsource" or any browser tools such as firebug, then they can find the parameter and then sort out the actual mp3 file url.I am using php in my back end.
I have a Flash file in which I want to embed a font, but the licence terms for that font mean I can only embed it in a file if that file is security protected to be non-editable. Assuming this means I need to take some sort of precautions to prevent the file being decompiled and the font extracted, is there any way of enforcing this?
Note: I don't care about the code itself being public, I just don't want the font file to be available.
I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Flash CS4 last night and I'm having problems with starting the setup.exe. I looked at the Setup Log File and got this problem.[code].....
I have a page that has a table with each row corresponding to an audio file. The last cell in each row embeds a simple flash audio player. The problem is that the flash file for the player is being downloaded for each row separately and as soon as rows go beyond 40-50 it crashes the browser.
I tried using different players (1pixelout, flash-mp3-player) and the problem is still there, so its not a player specific issue.
Is there any way to cache the player so that it is only downloaded once?
I'm developing a downloadable flash application that I want to include an image associated w/ a specific user w/ the download.Basically, I want the user's website image to be pulled down or pointed to when the .swf or .exe file is downloaded to a user's computer
I develop applications with Flash, AS 3.0 and PHP. I need to give the source code to my clients. But once I give them the source code they can also re-sell the applications to other people. So, I have deceided to use some code hiding process so that without my permission the application will not run in any server. In that case I am ready to keep informations in my server. Only my direct client will be able to run the file once they have registered their domain name and other info into my server.
