Hey.

Some time ago I made a program with a feedback function where you could enter a feedback message and it would be sent to my gmail. The problem was I got hacked and I couldn't change the password as it was used for connecting to the SMTP server in my program so to speak.

I'm pretty sure someone could decompile my program and get that email's account name and password as I had never used that email for anything else.

Is there a way or a free obfuscator I could use to dodge hackers that can view my email credentials from the code? I'm thankful for any help!

I'm using VS Express/Visual Basic .NET (2011 i think)

No, never store your password in your program. Neither encrypting it or obfuscating it will make it safe.

Thank you for your reply. Which way would you recommend getting the password? Via web somehow?

Just create some easy submit system in php and your users won't be able to see any login information

How do you do that, i mean is there a function in .net for doing such and which is it? I need to get some variables from my program to the mail message.

Another way is to use different mail acc!
If they decompile ur program! they only get ur mailsender mail! not ur reciever mail :D
(they can still change pass and stop ur app to work! but ur mail i safe!)

Like this...

Dim mail As New MailMessage()
Dim SmtpServer As New SmtpClient
SmtpServer.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "password")
SmtpServer.Port = 587
SmtpServer.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"
SmtpServer.EnableSsl = True
mail.To.Add("[email protected]") <------safe mail
mail.From = New MailAddress("[email protected]")
mail.Subject = "anything"
mail.Body = TextBox1.Text
SmtpServer.Send(mail)

It was there! just an alternative way untill u find out something safer :D
Iknow u have to recode it if they hack it!
