Ok, this is my first official tutorial. Here we go!

Description: This tutorial will show you how to make wicked looking batch files that are encrypted to fit your desires. HOWEVER, it is best to use a BAT to EXE compiler/converter in some cases. This will work for most batch files. Have fun!

Step 1: Open Notepad and type the following code:

Code: [Select]echo off
set aa=He
set bb=ll
set cc=o
set dd=Wo
set ee=rl
set ff=d
set gg=!
set hh=I
set ii=am
set jj=an
set kk=en
set ll=cr
set mm=yp
set NN=te
set oo=d
set pp=ba
set qq=tc
set rr=h
set ss=fi
set tt=le
set uu=!!
set vv=!!
echo %aa%%bb%%cc% %dd%%ee%%ff%%gg%
echo %hh% %ii% %jj% %kk%%ll%%mm%%nn%%oo% %pp%%qq%%rr% %ss%%tt%%uu%%vv%
pause >nul
Now save this as "whatever.bat". Now run it. It should say "Hello World! I am an encrypted batch file!"

Now, onto explaining this:

The variables are set to certain words and phrases, or word parts. This means that you can scramble the variables however you want, just don't mess with the final two echos in this case. FINALLY, all of the variables come together in perfect harmony in a final echo. There you go! An encrypted batch file! That is not encryption.
However, obfuscation is serious business, you can have a future in politics.
We can not go on any further,
- there are forum rules on  this sort of thing.  problem being that this only encrypts what is output...The other problem is writing a bunch of batch/script codes that accomplish nothing...

But i imagine it's good practice...Carry on...You posted this EXACT same script elsewhere...Where would someone on here find it? Quote from: lmsmi1 on November 05, 2011, 09:58:31 PM

Where would someone on here find it?

in the bin?

this is my first official tutorial

in the bin?

Tutorial: In Windows 7 environment (not sure about other OS's):

1. Right-click on batch file; Select Properties
2. Click Advanced button in General Tab
3. Check mark "Encrypt contents to secure data"

It's manual because it involves the user doing something.
It's encryption because it is ACTUALLY encrypting the file.

Wow. That seems a lot easier than the originally proposed method. Maybe I should get into this official tutorial business.
