Windows Script Decoder

The Windows Script Encoder (screnc.exe) is a Microsoft tool which can be
used to encode your scripts (i.e. JScript, ASP pages, VBScript).  Yes:
encode, not encrypt.  The use of this tool is to be able to prevent
people from looking at, or modifying, your scripts. Microsoft recommends
using the Script Encoder to obfuscate your ASP pages, so in case your
server is compromised the hacker would be unable to find out how your
ASP applications work.

The Windows Script Decoder is a tool that which can be used to decode
all scripts that have been encoded with the Windows Script Encoder.

Please note that this program was originally written to demonstrate the
ease of a cryptoanalysis attack against a tool like the Windows Script
Encoder. Nowadays, script encoding is used often to hide malicious
scripting commands and the script decoder can be very useful to uncover
the original code. It's also useful when debugging encoded scripts.
