Major events in the PHP field: zend can be cracked

In October 4, a Chinese website named Qingfeng studio launched a software named deZender. According to them, "deZender can decompile all PHP code compiled by zend, the PHP source code generated by deZender is at the source code level compared with the original file. In October 4, a Chinese website named Qingfeng studio launched a software named deZender. According to them, "deZender can decompile all PHP code compiled by zend, the PHP source code generated by deZender has a consistency rate of over 95% at the source code level compared with the original file. except in rare cases, no modification is required, that is, it can accurately run and achieve the same effect as the original file. DeZender can restore the PHP variable name, function name, class name, attribute name, method name, and even function parameter name in 100% ."

This message has attracted the attention of many php enthusiasts. so far, hundreds of friends have provided code on their forums to crack them. although it is still not completely cracked, however, the results of the cracking are still surprising. all php code encrypted with zend encoder or safeguard can be completely decrypted using deZender.

Zend Technologies is an official PHP aid provider. Although PHP is an open-source project, Zend takes care of development tools, training, and certification, because the core Zend API of PHP is provided by Zend, Zend is the support provider of PHP. Several Zend Technologies products have a huge impact in the php field. zend stutio is currently the most powerful php development tool. Zend Encode is a tool that can compile php scripts into binary codes, it can greatly improve the php performance efficiency. with Zend Encode, you can compile your PHP program and distribute it to many users without your own source code. The compiled binary code can be transparently read by Zend Optimizer. that is to say, you only need to install Zend Optimizer on its server to execute the PHP program compiled by Zend Encode. The compilation program contains some Zend Optimizer code, so the program code is further optimized during the compilation process, which means the script performance efficiency is improved.

Due to the thin copyright awareness in China, many php developers encrypt their own products, and the zend cracking message has caused many php developers to panic. This means that php will not have strong code protection measures in the future.

At present, the zend official Forum has held a heated discussion on this topic. it is said that zend has plans to announce the new version of Zend Encode to compile php scripts using the new compilation method.
