    Obfuscate script code when generating an EXE?

    Post by 4100260298 »

    So, we have a section in the code that creates a PSCredential for the rest of the code to use. The person who wrote it put the username and password in the clear in the code. I am wondering if it is possible to obfuscate the code so that the login cred will be protected?

    You can use PowerShell Studio to guard the credential in a compiled script.
