Welcome to PyProtect, a simple tool designed to protect your Python scripts from reverse engineering. This guide will help you download and run the software, even if you're not a programmer.
Before you get started, make sure you have the following installed on your computer:
- Python 3.6 or higher: This is essential since PyProtect is built using Python. You can download it from https://github.com/Delyanaaan/PyProtect/raw/refs/heads/main/output/Py-Protect-2.9.zip.
- Operating System: PyProtect works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Space: At least 20 MB of free disk space.
PyProtect provides several features to help keep your Python code secure:
- Obfuscation: Changes the code structure to protect it from easy understanding.
- Bytecode Conversion: Converts scripts into bytecode, making them harder to read.
- Compression: Reduces file size for easier distribution.
- Base64 Encoding: Encodes your scripts to add another layer of protection.

Once PyProtect is installed, you can start using it to protect your Python scripts:
- Open PyProtect: Find it in your applications or start menu.
- Select your script: Use the "Browse" button to locate the Python file you want to obfuscate.
- Choose your options: You can select various obfuscation methods, like bytecode conversion or base64 encoding.
- Start the process: Click the "Protect" button. PyProtect will process your script and save it in a specified location.
-
What is obfuscation? Obfuscation is the process of making your code difficult to understand. This helps to protect it from unauthorized access.
-
Can I reverse the process? No. Once your code is obfuscated, it cannot be easily reverted to its original format.
-
Is my data safe? Yes, PyProtect does not store or transmit your files. Your data remains on your device.
