How does it work?

Web Protector protects your Web pages mainly by encrypting the HTML source code.

For instance:
<table width="100"> will be encrypted into QBk9MuL=H]B+AbrttbT within your source code, or possibly into a totally different string, the process is dynamic.

It is almost impossible for the visitors to read your source code. When someone opens your Web page in their browser, the encrypted code will be automatically decrypted by a preset JavaScript which Web Protector wrote away to your Web page during encryption. The end result is that your Web page is fully viewable, but the source code is not.

Web Protector also includes additional JavaScript with your source code, in order to further protect your Web page. This protection fully disables the right-click context menu, disables text selection, page printing, offline use, etc.

How secure is Web Protector?

The first thing we must make clear is that there is no existing 100% secure protection method for HTML, this is due to the structure of the language.

However, Web Protector makes it extremely difficult for visitors to read and steal your source code, text, links and graphics by using strong encryption algorithms and several other tricks:

  • Disable right mouse click in all browsers
  • Disable text selection
  • Disable page printing in IE
  • Disable offline use
  • Disable links display
  • Disable Image Toolbar (in IE6)
  • Disable Smart Tags (in IE6)
  • No Cache
  • Add No-Error script

People must have enough HTML and JavaScript programming experience to bypass the encryption algorithms and retrieve the original source code. In fact, more than 99% of visitors are not this experienced. There is no doubt that they will give up trying to copy your source code immediately, when they see the confused code such as: QBk9MuL=H]B+AbrttbT.

So, for the majority of Internet users, Web Protector will be an impassable barrier that they cannot overcome.
