How to encrypt Lua codes

问题

I want to protect my Lua codes on my project, I'm using Corona SDK.

I saw some lua files being obfuscated like this one

https://github.com/ChartBoost/corona-sdk/blob/master/ChartboostSDK/chartboost.lua

Is there any application to protect my source code?

回答1:

The file you mentioned is not encrypted: it's just precompiled bytecode for Lua 5.1. It can be read with luac -l -p (not in source form but in VM instructions, which are probably enough to reconstruct the source). If you want to reconstruct the source, try LuaDec for Lua 5.1.

You can precompile your code using luac or string.dump.
