BS Encrypt

Finally got to play around with BS Encrypt the past week or so, fairly easy to use once you get the hang of it.

Basically its a command line tool which you feed a series of commands to point it to the license file. So for a website you have to give it, path to license files on both local machine and web server, path for where the file will reside when uploaded, the original filename and new filename. If all this information is correct (new filename has to be website file name), then it spits out the encrypted file.

All of this is rather messy so there is a GUI as well, I chose instead to see if I can make perl run the encrypt exe for me. After a lot of head scratching I found it didn't like that, but a simple batch file containing the commands does, something to do with running 2+ copies of the encryption at once, or maybe the file copy doesn't work.

To top it all off all the files involved need to be in the same folder, so I have a second batch file to move the encrypted files back to their correct folders.

Some other problems I found later, the hard way I might add. Need to delete the old encrypted files before running the scripting again, and it doesn't like some of my code. The later one proved to be a huge problem, I use children=Browser.getWorld().children; in some externprotos. Its a neat way of having things light street lights linked to a lighting controller in the main world. Thing is the encrypted files block access to each other, well at least using externproto.

In the meantime I have access to 5 servers with BS site licences, so going to figure out some sort of demo using them. I always have things I don't want stolen, as do others here so this is a good chance to show things without risk.

Oh one really important thing, no need to encrypt files if you just want to make the logo go away. You can mix and match encrypted and non encrypted files, though probably not with some fancy scripting.
