Sourceguardian: Protect and Encrypt PHP Source Code

A PHP encoder and obfuscator to make your code difficult to reverse engineer, ensuring protection of sensitive information and preventing unauthorized access.

What is Sourceguardian?

Sourceguardian is a PHP encoder and obfuscator developed by SourceGuardian Ltd. It is used to help protect and encrypt PHP applications and source code from unauthorized use and copying.

Some key features of Sourceguardian include:

  • Encoding and obfuscation of PHP code to make it difficult to read and reverse engineer
  • Encryption of functions, variables, and control flow structures
  • Integration with Zend Encoder for additional PHP encoding
  • Support for encoding stand-alone PHP scripts as well as full PHP applications
  • Multiple encoding levels from basic to advanced

Sourceguardian works by analyzing PHP code and applying transformations to obscure the original logic and flow. Things like renaming variables and functions, wrapping code blocks, and inserting opaque predicates make the code extremely difficult to decipher. It also integrates with Zend Encoder to further encode PHP bytecode.

The obfuscation from Sourceguardian makes it very difficult for others to simply copy or steal PHP applications. It is commonly used by developers and companies who sell or distribute commercial PHP software and want to prevent unauthorized use or redistribution of their source code.
