Harden Excel VBA Protection
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I have a mature Excel 365 workbook whose business logic lives entirely in VBA. Before I distribute the next release I need the VBA project locked down so the source cannot be opened, copied, or tampered with by end-users. Standard “VBAProject” passwords are too easy to crack, so I am looking for a stronger, layered password-protection approach that keeps the code both unreadable and uneditable while leaving every existing feature of the workbook fully functional.
What I expect from you:
• Implement a reliable method to password-protect the VBA project inside an Excel 365 file, using the strongest techniques available for this platform.
• Confirm that the protection survives common cracking utilities and that breakpoints or view-code commands are blocked.
• Return the secured workbook together with clear, step-by-step instructions so I can reproduce the process on future builds.
Acceptance will be based on a quick penetration test: if I cannot enter the VBE or export a module without the password, the job is complete. Should you wish to suggest complementary measures such as code obfuscation or a digital signature, feel free to outline them, but the mandatory deliverable is robust password protection.
