Useful tool for decoding obfuscated PHP code in WordPress themes

I've found that a lot of free Wordpress themes have encrypted code in places, so you have no idea what it's doing. It could be stealing your logins for all you know. I wouldn't trust anything like that at all.

If you look at the code in the footer.php or functions.php or any of the other files and see a bunch of stuff like:

Code:
eval(gzinflate(base64_decode('80jNyclXyFTPVUhJTc5PSU0BAA==')));
That is what I'm talking about.

I found this website that will decode it and show you exactly what it really is in exact PHP/HTML markup. It can also be used to remove hardcoded footer links, etc... but that may or may not be disallowed by the theme's creator, so I'm not telling you to do that.

Anyway, the link is here: eval gzinflate base64_decode Online Decode Tool

  • #1 Buy your themes.

    #2 Learn basic html and php and pull that out.

    99% of the time is just a backlink to their sites or an iframe with malware.

    Its easy to pull out and to make your own footer using the view source and copying the html.

    No need to decrypt it lol :p
