JScript.Encode
JScript.Encode is a method created by Microsoft used to obfuscate both server and Client-side JavaScript or VB Script source code in order to protect the source code from copying. JavaScript code is used for creating dynamic web content on many websites, with the source code easily viewable, so this was meant to protect the code. The encoding is a simple polyalphabetic substitution using three alphabets.
