cfencoder and cf 7.0

[SilentBob_secretfusion]

I was wondering, does the cfencoder still work with coldfusion 7.0?

Thanks.

Anyone? I believe that was the name of the tool used to encrypt coldfusion code, to make it more difficult for others to read. Thanks.

See note at the bottom of ColdFusion security features

Note: You can also use the cfencode utility, located in the cf_root/bin directory, to obscure ColdFusion pages that you distribute. Although this technique cannot prevent persistent hackers from determining the contents of your pages, it does prevent inspection of the pages.

I would recommend against it. There is a CFDecode utility that can be found at various location on the Internet and it decodes the templates perfectly in seconds. All encoding does is make the application harder to support because you loose critical debugging info when errors occur -- like line numbers.
