Hi,
I'm currently using:
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, POSTFIELDS);
where POSTFIELDS is a #define that contains user, password, and a bunch
of other stuff.
It works fine. My problem is that the user:password data is visible in
the .exe -- it's not encrypted.
Are there any standard ways to encrypt or obfuscate a password that is
part of the -d data fields?
I'm thinking there must be a way to encrypt the data, put it in a file,
and read that file at runtime, decrypt, and substitute into the POST.
Has anyone done anything like this?
Thanks and regards,
Rashid Butte
