Hi,

Why you want to encrypt it ?
The ipadress is always visible with : netstat -a to see where your outgoing connection is made.

Good Luck

Yes i know, but it's a customer who have to ask me because he has a ip adress who no change !
And he doesn't want that a person found her ip adress in helpdesk
It's for it that i thought to crypt custom.exe !
But i don't want a encryption with password, i want just for the reading of custom.exe

Thank you very much

Bye

The helpdesk.txt contain your ip address and not the customer ip address.
SC server connect to your viewer, not the viewer to the server.

Hello rudy, and thank you

I know very good Ultra VNC SC (I'm Moderator on the french forum http://forum.ultravnc.fr/ )
I think that i have a bad english language for that you understand me.

(helpdesk.txt+winvnc.exe+icon1.ico+...) = server.exe
I want to crypt server.exe just if you want open server.exe, as that ipadress in helpdesk.txt is hide

I hope that you understand me et thank you very much for your answer

Bye

... not possible

the sc exe is an archive that simply exctracts the files you see into a temp directory and runs winvnc.exe... the winvnc.exe in there is a customised version that will read the helpdesk.txt and then display the gui.

you could wrap the files into a different installer - eg NSIS or AutoIt but then all the person has to do is run it and find the temp dir to read the helpdesk.txt

only way to encrypt the helpdesk.txt is to recompile the winvnc.exe to be able to read an encryted version of the helpdesk.txt

you could also obfusicate the ip in helpdesk by making it in octal or something (don't know if it will still work) most people are not aware that addresses can be in octal or binary and still work.

imho what you are trying to achieve is not only dificult and time consuming but is completely useless anyway

even if you do get an ecrypted helpdesk.txt file and get it working and completely stop decompile to get at it...

all the end user has to do is netstat.

netstat will show all the currently active connections to/from the machine and the ip address

there is NO WAY AT ALL to stop and end user from getting your ip address ever
if someone wants your ip address then they have it end of point.

reality check: your ip address is easy to get. instead of trying to stop ppl from getting your ip just secure your connection - use some sort of firewall

Alternative

Why bother trying to encrypt the WHOLE 7z archive (exe) when you can create your own autoit script (exe) that sits inside the 7z archive (exe) to call the winvnc.exe using commandline arguments instead of using the SC GUI.

MIND YOU, this still isnt perfect, as there are apps available that allow you to see the commandline arguments that where used when an app was executed.

BUT, it then allows you to have automatic reconnection of dropped connections (a bit harder to program)

:idea:

why not just use a dynalis instead of ip addres?? That way you can change the ip to whatever you want to be by just changing the dynalias account information when need be.

True ....

but, that still means that the IP is in the helpdesk.txt, but its now just a name instead of the IP ...

AH ... now i get you ... when not in use change it to something else ... a bit painful, but not a bad idea
