how could we protect our scripts ?? !!!!

[crazy.works]

hello,
well i came here today to discuss some thing very important to the all developers , we spend hours, days and months in coding and developing our scripts until offering their to the customers and suddenly we lose every thing cause of any hacker or cracker .and of course that is not fair for us .

every body knows the crackers and the hackers can decode the zend and now i heard about they can decode the ioncube 6.5 (the last version).

so now how could we protect our scripts ???? !!!!!

i spent 6 months in coding one script of mine, so should i encode it with zend or ioncube with big wish about the hackers and the crackers will stay away beside they gonna stay nice people with my script in case of i already know thy can decode it ??? !!!

so please guys any body have any suggestion about protecting our scripts ,lets share it please to help each other

thanks

Both of them can be decode right now, but ioncube is harder to decode as they do not have a public 'decoder' floating around, but there are many websites who offers to decode ioncube.

Maybe you want to obfuscator the code to make it messy(harder to read, by replace all the variable with random character and remove all white space and comment) and then test it, make sure it is working and then encode it.
