Is Someone Stealing Your Source Code?
by: Michael Southon
That's a question that worries many people on the Internet. And some people go to great lengths to hide their source code.
There are several reasons you might want to conceal the source code of your web pages:
- if you have web pages that rank highly in the search engines, you don't want people to see your meta tags
- you don't want people copying your web page design or java scripts
- you want to protect your website from email harvesters and other spam utilities
But can you hide your source code?
The short answer is no - to display a web page, the browser has to be able to read the source, and if the browser can read it, so can your visitors.
But there are ways to make it more difficult for your visitors to read your source code. Here are some of them:
(1) Adding dozens of carriage returns at the top of your HTML page
This one has fooled me a couple of times. All you see is a lot of blank space - but just keep scrolling down and you'll find the source code.
(2) Using frames
When you try to view the source code of a page using this technique, all you see is the first ten or fifteen lines of HTML. But just save the page to a folder on your hard disk and then look for a sub-folder where the images in that page were saved to.
In the sub-folder you'll find an HTML file that contains the source code you were looking for. Again, this won't fool experienced users, but it's worth a shot. Here is the code: http://www.ezine-writer.com/framescode.html
(3) Disabling Right Click
This is an old trick and experienced surfers know how to get around it. Here it is anyway - a script that disables Right Click: http://www.ezine-writer.com/rightclick.html
(4) Disabling View Source
I searched high and low for a script that disables 'View Source' in the browser menu bar, and couldn't find one.
Here is a script that is supposed to disable 'View Source' - I tried it out in my browser (IE 6.0) and it didn't work, so perhaps it only works in older versions of IE: http://www.ezine-writer.com/no-source-code.html
(5) Encryption plus frames
This is a technique that will work on all but the most experienced web surfers. Here is the code for doing it: http://www.ezine-writer.com/hidesource.html
I've created a copy of my index page using the above technique - if you click on View Source, all you see is a jumble of characters: http://www.ezine-writer.com/encrypted.htm
Well, that's it! All you need to know about hiding your source code.

multimedia solutions
Netscape Corporation has created the best known secure server technologies. It uses a security protocol called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) that provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. When a client seeking to purchase multimedia solutions connects with a secure server, they exchange a *handshake* which initiates a secure session. With this protocol, the same server system can run both secure and unsecured web servers simultaneously. This means an multimedia solutions organization or company can provide some information to all users using no security, and other information that is secured. For example, a business that sells multimedia solutions online can have its storefront (merchandise catalog) unsecured, but ordering and payment forms can be secure.
Why are these developments important? As the Internet becomes a way to buy and sell multimedia solutions products and services, financial transactions become essential. Right now, most multimedia solutions transactions involve the exchange of credit card information, either directly over the network, or by phone, to complete a transaction initiated online. Eventually, you will be able to use cash as well as credit, directly over the network.
There are two basic kinds of digital cash, anonymous cash and identified cash. Anonymous cash is just like paying for multimedia solutions with paper cash but it also carries no information about the person making the transaction, and leaves no transaction trail. You create it by using numbered bank accounts and blind signatures. Identified cash, on the other hand, contains information revealing the identity of the person who withdrew it from the bank. Like credit card transactions, identified cash can be tracked as it moves through the system and involves fully identified accounts and non-blind signatures. Whether you use digital cash when purchasing multimedia solutions is entirely up to you. We suggest you employ the purchasing avenues available from the multimedia solutions supplier we recommend.
