I need to decrypt an ioncube file. Does anyone know a program that can do it or a tutorial?

I would also be willing to pay someone to do it for me )

Thanks in advance.

Actually anything blatantly illegal is taken care of pretty quickly around here if we see it.

I've also heard some other people asking how to mod FSR. It's pretty weird. I actually had someone tell me they did it and "unlicensed" themself, and that FSR was going to sue him.

I know you're our resident legal beagle P but doesn't the DMCA make it illegal?

As I understand it, there is a DMCA exemption allowing reverse engineering or circumvention of software protections, provided the software is [i6e18539177]legally obtained[/i6e18539177] and only for the purpose of interoperability research and design. Any OTHER decryption of a copywritten work is against the law, and thus subject to criminal liability, in addition to the civil liability due to TOS/EULA violation. Honestly, I fail to see how decrypting IonCube in this case would fall under the interoperability exclusion, so I'm thinking it liwouldli actually be illegal.

Yay? Nay?

I think you're likely correct, I'd hadn't considered the influence of the DMCA.

Alright, I guess you can take the topic down

TFOAF, just wondering, but why would you even care if this was illegal or not? That bored? roll
