What is the BadBlue Encoding System?
The BadBlue Encoding System (BES) is designed to let authors secure their valuable source code while allowing them to distribute a fully functional application and web server in a tiny footprint. Part of the BES system is the encoding program (a small, command-line executable) that encrypts the scripts. The other part is the standard BadBlue Enterprise Edition web server, which is needed to run the scripts. For a limited time, BadBlue EE is bundled with the encoding system. If you’re new to BadBlue, try the free Personal Edition download with the quick start configuration for PHP so that you can determine whether it’s suitable for your application.
