Any free encryption tools available to remove header and footer?

17 replies
Hey guys,

I have a few free themes i'd like to use, but just discovered they have a boat load of encryption.

Are there any free tools out there that actually work?

Perhaps the footer can be removed, but the header looks alot more difficult:

    I downloaded a file from there called Solenca.zip, extracted it and took a look at a file in it called header.php. There's nothing encrypted in there - it's base64 encoded. That's a big and fortunate difference.

    The encoded stuff appears to be there to make sure you don't use their theme without keeping the header and footer in tact.

    For example, there's a part at the top that says:

    <?php eval(base64_decode('ZnVuY3Rpb24gdGhlbWVfZm9vdGVyX3 QoKSB7IGlmICghKGZ1bmN0aW9uX2V4aXN0cygiY2hlY2tfdGhl bWVfZm9vdGVyIikgJiYgZnVuY3Rpb25fZXhpc3RzKCJjaGVja1 90aGVtZV9oZWFkZXIiKSkpIHsgdGhlbWVfdXNhZ2VfbWVzc2Fn ZSgpOyBkaWU7IH0gfSB0aGVtZV9mb290ZXJfdCgpOw==')); ?>

    ... and if you aren't gifted enough to do base64 encoding in your head, then you can paste the part inside the single quotes into the form at Base 64 Decoder and you'll see that what that gibberish represents is:

    function theme_footer_t() { if (!(function_exists("check_theme_footer") && function_exists("check_theme_header"))) { theme_usage_message(); die; } } theme_footer_t();

      Hmmm... interesting.

      Well one things CERTAINLY for sure. I ain't 'gifted enough' to do ANY php in my head:p

      Well, that's a relief.

      What about the footer links? How can I remove those?


      Thanks

        Try changing the eval to echo to see what the code is.

    you don't suppose to remove encrypted texts in the themes given. Think about it, nothing is really given away for free. There are always costs involved.

    That's why the encrypted texts there.
    If you don't like it, may be you can buy another theme.

    Hi,

    There is a way around it. I did it years ago when I wanted to use a free theme. I didnt mind leaving the footer in but I wanted to see what exactly was in there. I didnt want there to be any spam links or something sinister.

    I cant remember exactly how I did it (try searching google for removing encryption from wordpress themes) but I think what I did was I changed the word "eval" to "echo" which prints the encrypted bit instead of doing the eval thing. Then you can see what it says and how it interacts with the other parts.

    Then I removed what I needed to. I think I managed to just delete a few parts that had the die message in too. I remember it took me a few hours of cutting and pasting to see what I could remove without killing the whole site.

    Nowadays I just use a program like artisteer to create my own copy cat sites if I like a theme I want to use.

    Cheers

      Hey Thanks,

      Artisteer looks like a cool program and it looks very easy to learn. Does it actually deliver though?

    Hi,

    Thinking back I'm not sure if there is another way. I'm thinking that the other way of doing it is to view the theme online on a blog and then look at the source code. Basically the encrypted sections are doing their thing and then outputting HTML to the browser. In some case you can cut/paste the section from the cource code and replace the encrypted section.

    That may or not work depending on how the encryption is set up and how it kills the rest of the site.

    As for Artisteer it is limited in some ways. There are sometimes some things you want to do (like having a header and menu on the same level) but yeah its great for getting 95% of the way there to way you want to go. The rest you can then tweak in the code yourself.

    My one criticism is its like buying a house that was decorated in the 60s. The starting point for the blogs are awful. You then have to redecorate (change all the colours etc) to bring it up to date. But once you get the hang of it, its very easy to use. AND it outputs the same design to WP, HTML, Joomla etc....

    I use Plimus to create ecommerce sites with Wordpress so I use the WP theme for my site and then create a duplicate HTML page that I use to create my Plimus buy now page. Saves a tonne of work.

    Cheers

    Don't know if it is allowed to post here!You are running in wrong direction.I have just taken a quick look and it's actually easy.A quick hint open the file functions.php under the theme folder and find out the base 64 coded strings.Decode and change the functions accordingly.
    best of luck

      Hi,

      Thanks for your input.

      I'm not very knowledgeable of php code. Let me be sure I understand you correctly. So you are saying to go to functions.php " find out the base 64 coded strings.Decode and change the functions accordingly." Decode how? Meaning to delete all of the 64 coded strings?

      Anyway, any chance I could get a hand? (I want to know how to do it myself...) Take a look at this code :

      Hey Max,

      So I tried changing the eval to echoe(also tried echo...) but that only showed a different error message.

      I even tried this online tool:
      HTML Code:
       hxxp://www.tareeinternet.com/scripts/decrypt.php
      which looks pretty cool , yet did not work.


      Here's another encrypted footer in which i tried to replace 'eval':

      Any way I chance I could get a hand? (I want to know how to do it myself...) Take a look at this code :

        Your gunna complain that a free theme encoded their crap? If you have a problem with what they put in it .. learn some coding and create our own theme.

    Hi,

    It's been so long since I did it myself that I've forgotten exactly what I did. I know you can look at the file away from the encryption and you'll see a section that basically tells the scrypt to look and see if the headers are correctly encrypted and then you'll see something that says "die". This is basically telling the scrypt that if the headers arent there to basically shut down and display nothing or an error.

    I think once you find the section with the die function you can play with it a bit. I remember I would delete a bit and run it and see if everything still worked. Eventually I had removed the die script without killing the blog.

    Then once I had done that I viewed my blog in a web browser. Went Ctrl U to view the code and copied and pasted the outputted HTML in place of the code in the header and footer.

    I remember it took a while of messing about. Nowadays if I want to use a theme, I copy it using Artisteer. Trying to decrypt is just a hassle and really is it worth it?

    Also using Echo in place of Eval may only work once you've removed the Die function. Like I say its been a while since I did it.


    Cheers
