Hiding most of page source?>>!! Possible!

Anon

hi, Umm.. I once stumbled on a script which randomly displays images from a given directory path and creates a page that hides the image source into something like..
http://mydomain.com/images/image.gif
to
http://mydomain.com/images/image.php3=idd23231 or somthing.

This of course elimnates anyone from actually stealing your images..

I was thinking that would be a great Idea to use the same idea but instead of images make it hide your whole site html ..this would help cure my and many other websites from pescky newbies who steal images and source html.

First of all, why would you prevent "newbies" te read and use your code? Everybody can learn from it, if they want?

If you are against that kind of learning, that's exacly what this msgboard is all about.

Next to that, I don't see what's the difference. You always need to send the html-code so that the browser can show the page. Whether you do it by a php-script (which I guess looks in a db and finds the url matching the id in there, next outputs the url) or directly by accessing the url, it doesn't make that much difference.

Open source and hAkRz ideology aside...

Hiding your source and/or images the way you describe will not sove the problem that you talk about at the end of your post; preventing people from stealing / viewing / learning from your source code or images.

Even if you have a program to feed the image to the browser as in your example, the image has to be returned the browser, anyway, so that it can be displayed. A visitor only needs to right click the image and save it to their hard drive. The only thing accomplished has been hiding the original file name and/or location of the file in the server's directory tree.

The same is true of page source. You can feed it to the browser anyway you want, but it still gets to the browser and can be viewed by a visitor using any number of utilities. You still have only hidden the original file name and/or location, nothing else.
