how do u do a strings command?
|
On a Unix variant (Linux, Mac O/S, Solaris),
strings <name of file>
will dump all the printable strings in the file to the screen. The output can be redirected as normal, which is good, since there's a lot of text in the executable. 
Sorry, I don't know if Windows has a similar command/function.

Well I disagree back.
There is no way to encrypt the strings that will hide it from absolutely everyone. And any extreme effort would slow the game down more than its worth. But even something as weak as Rot13 (yes I purposely chose the weakest in the world) would work for a much larger chunk. For one thing you couldnt do a simple strings on it and jump right to the answer by knowing just one of the possibilities.
And even if people dont like not knowing things in the game, oh well. The game does do that on purpose. People can try to undo that, or they can shift to games where all the rules are known (I hear chess is good), but this one isnt like that.
My only comment was that in the next one maybe they will do better. Of course it will fail but all security does. Its always only an effort to block "as many as possible, as much as possible, for as long as possible" within reason (in this case without making the game too slow)
And, no, obviously Im NOT going to provide a whole list.
