magento encoded modules list

Magento Encoded Modules

The purpose of this repository is to maintain a list of Magento 1 / Magento 2 vendors who use encoding to obfuscate code; making life difficult for clients and developers. This list will serve as a WARNING to clients and Magento developers to either stay away from these vendors or use them at their own risk as the underlying code used in their modules is not readable.

Risk of Using Ecnoded Magento Modules:

• Encoded modules cannot be debugged.
• Slows down active development.
• Cannot be pen-tested for security.
• Prevents LTS support if vendor is no longer available.
• Prevents PHP version upgrading.
• Impact on application performance.
• Some hosting providers may not allow encoded files on the server.

Vendor List

• All4Coding
• Cart2Quote*
• Extendware
• Fishpig
• Unirgy
• Wyomind
• Magebird

* Open source version of the module(s) can be purchased under a specific price tier from vendor.
