I want to hide some strings in my .exe so people can't simply just open the .exe and look at all the strings there. I don't care about the strength of the encrypting method, so I will probably use XOR etc.
How can I do this at compile time? That way my strings won't be stored in the .exe but the encrypted versions would. Then, I would just use my decrypting function every time to display those strings on screen.
