This only serves to illustrate why relying on obfuscation to protect you via security-through-obscurity is ridiculous. Commercial Javascript libraries with DRM should take note.

I've never run into one of these and am curious, do you have an example of a library that tries to do this with obfuscation?

I think you're confusing JS minification with obfuscation. Minified code looks obfuscated, sure, but it's not done to deter "hacking", just to make the code smaller.

Is there any reason there should be some limit on these kinds of sites?

> function decrypt(a){return "a";} notAdmin a "Login complete, and notAdmin is Admin." Reminds me of when I made a login-form in flash, that simply redirected the browser to "hiddenLoggedIn.html". To be fair I was around 13.

Bah, and I spent the 60 seconds "decrypting" notAdmin's password ;)

Woops, you got him there! (teehee)

Not really, just don't make them as shitty as this one before going public.

The creator of this could probably use some more constructive feedback than "don't make it shitty."
