There is a methon to encrypt in some way this data to make at least a little bit harder, even with a simple obfuscation algorithm, to intercept or read?</P> <P>thanks!</P> Tue, 11 Jun 2013 08:30:32 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/how-to-obfuscate-some-text-inside-a-python-lookup-script/m-p/59332#M14600 RiccardoV 2013-06-11T08:30:32Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/how-to-obfuscate-some-text-inside-a-python-lookup-script/m-p/59333#M14601 <P>One solution that I have used before is to use <CODE>base64</CODE>, although it may not be the best way, it's the only way I found to be feasible (for my case at least).</P> <P>You could create a script that handles the processing of the username/password through the <CODE>base64</CODE> module and any other "jazz" you may want to do with the password.
