steveherrmann 1 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Before I put encrypted JS code into my website, can anyone tell me if this source is trustworthy? What I mean is, does Webtools hide something nasty into the encryption in addition to what I type into the window? I want to keep my email address safe from robots. That is, I want to encrypt <a href="mailto:MYemail@MYdomain.com">...</a> I've created a dummy email address and tested it. It seems to work fine, but I don't want it if they sell the address to a spammer. I looking for protection from email skimmers, not ultimate security. I doubt someone would sift the rare JS encrypted websites for one email address. ( ...or am I being naive?) Who out there has some knowledge about this? Thank you!

justsomeguy 1,135 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 It doesn't look malicious, but it does double the size of the code. You can replace the final document.write with something like console.log if you want to see the code that it's running. It's the same code, just encoded in a way that makes it twice as long.

davej 251 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 It isn't that tricky to decode. It is simply using the Javascript escape() and unescape() functions and XOR. http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_escape.asp http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_unescape.asp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
