Hey there, I have a script that I've had in my posession for some years now, to which I used to have the key for, however I no longer have it.

The encryption method used on the file isn't he most advanced in the world, however it's stumped me as to revealing the source code to the bnetsq.php file.

I was hoping someone would be willing to give a shot at decrypting it.

The encryption algorithm is an older, but common one known as codelock. You can find many resources regarding it online.

Hopefully someone can help.. Being able to refer to the source code will help me a lot on my current project.

Thanks

The codelock file quite clearly says:

The file was given to me by one of its creators, Roy Jezmajian, in attempt for me to re-create it sometime ago.

I very much have his permission to decrypt the file, as he said that he didn't have the key either, which is why it's the issue.

The codelock.php file is an external application that was used with the file to encrypt it, not part of the actual program (beyond encryption).

If need be, I can provide proof of his permission. But being as this was created back in 2004, we don't have the previous information regarding its encryption.

I would suggest asking Roy for the original source, or a new valid key, to save you the bother of asking on some random PHP forum for help to work around not having a valid key any longer.

I almost believed you when I read your first post, now I don't at all. This is actually not the first time I've heard that one. We won't help you crack other people's work.

I'm not trying to deceive anyone.. Roy originally gave me the code and a key some years ago, as I said. At the time, I had no use for it, so it's just been sitting there. Now that i'm trying to make use of it, and having that being the only copy that he and I have (not having the original non-encrypted version), i'm trying to make due with what I have, without having a key.

He has said that since it IS so old, that he doesn't have any keys lying around anymore, so that I could go ahead and decrypt it if I could.

But I understand if you guys don't want to help out. I suppose i'll just keep giving it a go, and hope I have some luck.

Chances are that code written in 2004 is pretty rubbish by today's standards and best practices anyway so even if you did have the original source, it could well be an improvement to re-write the script with a more modern approach. :)

I agree with you :) But I don't understand the concepts of what i'm working on, and the same concepts are inside of the encrypted file.

So being able to use it as an example to learn how things are done within it, will make my learning process a lot easier.

I'm not sure if I made this point clear though, just to defend myself somewhat.

He didn't write the codelock.php file, it's an older version of the software located at this site: http://www.codelock.co.nz/encryptor/index.php

So he used the older version, and just doesn't have the key anymore to give me. So i'm not trying to break his decryption, but just access the files that he gave me permission to view.

If you use the codelock.php program, it's the program itself that says not to reverse engineer the software, but not his code. So.. yeah.. just sayin'

So, even if you do have permission, we don't.
