conn = New MySqlConnection("server=myserver.info;Port=3306; user id=dbusername; password=dbpassword; database=dbname")Anyways, a user managed to get this info from the program

View 1 RepliesI don't want my programs to be cracked. I have this simple authorization system that prompts my users to enter their forum credentials (I have a forum and the users must be registered members to use the programs).So I made a php script that will take in 3 strings sent in by my applications and it will check against the database if that user exists and is of the proper group and it will display a message on the page and my application then looks for the response in the page source which says if this particular user is allowed to use the program or not.
View 4 RepliesI have a VB.Net exe application that has a function in it that contains my encryption method that is used through out my application. This function is used to generate all my encrypted passwords and files etc. therefore for obvious reasons I do not want this to be visible to end users. In my application this is fine as it is compiled as a .exe. However I want to now create a ASP.Net web based version of my application.
Now here comes the question, if I was to create a web version of my application then this function would be visible to the end users along with a large number of other functions that if edited could bypass security and license control.I would like to know what is the best way to keep my ASP.Net webbased version secure from tampering, or is ASP.Net not the best for this?
I am making a program with a very good HWID system, but so far it uses a standard WebClient control, I want to know how to make it more secure, like possibly encrypting the connection to a site (Uses PHP), or making sure the connection isnt being tampered with. are their any tools/pieces of code to do these checks/encryption?[code]...
View 1 RepliesI recently made a small app for a friend and then made it a public app, in doing so I forgot that it connects to my MS SQL DB and checks for values. Someone used Red Gate .Net Reflector to get my password and destroy it all. I've contacted their ISP and they are looking into it, apparently this person has a static ip with them.So this is a lesson learned at a heavy price for me. How can I prevent this from happening again? How can I get away from the unsafe connection string they were able to use?
View 5 RepliesI have an application that's going to be portable so it's likely the path of the database itself (access mdb file) will change so hard wiring the path in the app.config isn't practical. I would like to create a 'Settings' form for the user to enter the path (browse for would be ideal but I can figure that out later) of the database file and save it for future use with the same app. I've found a few things out there talking about creating a new app.config file alongside the original with a 'key' defined but I'm not sure how that relates to the original app.config and how it would call the new variable to make the connection.

WinFormsApp then uses Decryption key on Hardcoded encrypted connection string and renders application usable.This would then eliminate the necessity to encrypt/decrypt a connection string at runtime, virtually rendering any unauthorized person with a useless software.
View 1 RepliesLets say we have an Access file in a well known path (i.e. "C:MyFolderMyFile.mdb"). That file does not have a primary key set on the table we are interested in . Is it possible to set one of the fields as a primary key (for example the "ID" field , which is also an AutoNumber data) ? And one more thing : I'd like to change the name of a field on that table . For example , lets say there is a field called "My Field 1" (note the space characters) and we want it to be renamed as "My_Field_1" . If it's possible , I'd like both these changes to be permanent in the data base file itself , not just in the imported DataSet ,

View 5 RepliesWhat would be the best way to input the password when uploading a file to FTP? The file gets uploaded behind the scenes without the user inputting any details (the username + password gets used)
So far I've used the network.upload method but the password is in plain text and obviously readable. I need to upload the file without anyone obtaining the password when doing so, would obtaining the password from a mysql database or some sort of encryption be better?

Here's the

Dim bytes() As Byte = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strToHash)

The GetMD5Hash's method is using for to decrypt the MD5 hash to turns into the actual strings and MD5Hash's method is using for encrypt the strings into md5... However, the connection strings can be sniff the packets sent out. How to decrypt the MD5 hash and how to blocked the connection strings in the packets sent out??
I am making an program that stores most of my text files in it. So I need a secure password protection to protect my information's. I was told that MD5 will get the job done, so I used an MD5 protection to see if it'll be good. I gave the test program to a guy I know and he manage to get my password within a minute. (I am still a bit new to VB so which encryption to use...)

View 1 Repliesi'm trying to make an application using ms access database. This application is for our class, simply to enter students data and institutions details. However, i got stuck with combo; here is my question and the application background?
I have a database named "StudentData" with table "StudentDetails" with "RECNO" which is Auto Numbered (and is Primary key) and a number of different fields which accepts Students Name, class, accedemic year and so on.
What i want to do with the RECNO is, i want to make a combobox which will be filled with the record number of the students, when i click on any number from the dropdown list, i want the other fields like the txtName (for students name), txtClass, txtACYear etc to be field with each RECNO they belonged to.
I have an application that has two states based on the value of a Boolean variable: a read_only=true state and read_only=false state. The value of this state is stored in an external settings file. My application has a feature called deploy that generates a copy of itself in the same folder with the read_only=true state. But, the read_only variable value is stored in an external file so now both files will be in the read_only=true state. What I want to do is make one of them(the original one) always be read_only = false and the other read_only=true
