Hello,

I would like to use shc on SUN 5.10 SPARC and HP UX Itanium 11.31 so that I could do some encrypting on my shell scripts.
But on these machines I don"t have cc or gcc.

I find a man who can download shc.c and send me the binary files.
You can download it here :
www datsi fi upm es ~frosal

Just few minutes for you, and with that, you can encrypt your shell scripts (-rx is mandatory for scripts but I don't want than user read my scripts shc is a good solution).

Thank you very much for you help.

I see one download site for what might be the binary from sunfreeware, but no binary on sunfreeware itself. If you can't find it from a Solaris SPARC friend, and that download I googled is not binary or too scary, you can get gcc from sunfreeware and compile shc.

Most UNIX systems have a cc somewhere unless they are hacker sanitized!

I asked sunfreeware to add shc, and investigate the people redistributing their nonexistent product.

I went off sunfreeware.com to http://unixpackages.com/ but I am not that rich. Maybe someone will port it to JAVA?

In 2005, shc seems to be weak: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8256?page=0,0 but 3.8.9 might be fixed: http://www.datsi.fi.upm.es/~frosal/sources/CHANGES

I suggest to download gcc, then compile the source.
For HP-UX this is HP-UX Porting and Archiving Centre | Home

I am tryng to find the Penguin Article writer to see if the updated shc is secure, write an update to the article. However, the last update was critical, so get it.
