JavaScript Email Protection (JEP)

JEP is a simple JavaScript function that protects email addresses from bots scraping raw HTML. It dynamically writes obfuscated email links to the DOM.

🚀 Features

✅ Obfuscates emails using HTML character codes
✅ Prevents basic scrapers from reading raw email addresses
✅ No manual decoding required – browsers display the email correctly
✅ Lightweight & simple – only a few lines of JavaScript

🛠️ Usage

1️⃣ Include the JavaScript File

Add jep.js to your project and include it in your HTML:

<script src="jep.js"></script>

2️⃣ Call jep_link(domain, user) in Your HTML

Use the jep_link function to insert an email link:

<p>Contact: <script>jep_link("example.com", "mailbox")</script></p>

This dynamically generates:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>

But in the HTML source, it appears obfuscated:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]">&#109;&#97;&#105;&#108;&#98;&#111;&#120;&#64;&#101;&#120;&#97;&#109;&#112;&#108;&#101;&#46;&#99;&#111;&#109;</a>

🔐 How It Works

1. Scrapers scanning raw HTML won’t see the email – only encoded characters.
2. Browsers automatically decode the characters, displaying a normal email link.
3. Users can click the email as usual, but bots won’t extract it easily.

📌 Future Improvements

• Add randomized obfuscation to make detection harder.
• Use JavaScript decryption for even stronger protection.
