Any way to protect the assets in a WebGL game?

Hi, sorry if the question is repeat (i search before in the forum) I understand that WebGL is a client tecnology as javascript that run in browsers and have not encription, then is possible protect the assets or the entire game code of be copy for anybody (not code obfuscation)? thanks.

 

Even non webgl builds are simple to rip as it is. If you publish a game, people can get your assets.

You can process everything on your server and simply update the client views when stats change.

You can try locking down your server in the .htaccess to prevent people from directly accessing the resource files.

But honestly any platform can be ripped in minutes.

 

The asm.js-based JavaScript generated by compiling a Unity project to WebGL is not a direct translation of C#/UnityScript to JavaScript. Instead, it goes through this (rather creative) pipeline:

• Your C#/UnityScript code gets compiled into .NET bytecode
  
• A tool named IL2CPP converts the .NET bytecode into C++
• This C++ then gets compiled by CLang into LLVM bitcode
• LLVM applies heavy optimization to this code (just like machine code compilation, which LLVM usually does)
• The resulting LLVM code is then converted into asm.js-based JavaScript

In this asm.js-based JavaScript, all of your scripts, Unity's scripts, Mono BCL and C++ standard library classes are mangled into one big blob of bytes that is massaged by crazy low-level JavaScript instructions.

That's about as hard to decompile as any machine code-compiled application. The most likely path of attack would be to try to get back to LLVM bitcode from the asm.js-based JavaScript and then decompile the LLVM bitcode into plain C. But the result would have close to nothing in common with the original C#/UnitScript code (just a bunch of sequentially numbered functions). It may help someone understand your license check or such, but stealing code this way would be harder than just writing it from scratch.

 

^^ Just opened up a webgl build and it has the data in .asset files and a mainData file (unity scene), which can be copied into individual objects/textures/shaders/rigs/etc……………………..

 

And the code??

 

I think the code is safe, only way I know to get the code in current unity platforms is in .NET reflector (get the actual classes as written in c#), but the models/shaders/textures/ can be accessed easily from .asset files.
