DevExtras .NET Obfusasm

DevExtras .NET Obfuscator is a simple yet advanced obfuscation tool for the .NET framework. What is Obfuscation?Obfuscation protects your intellectual property by making it incredibly difficult for others to reverse-engineer your software. By its very nature .NET applications are very easily decompiled. None-obfuscated .NET applications can be compared to an unlocked car with the keys left in the Ignition. If someone wants to steal it, it`s pretty easy for them to do so. Obfuscated .NET applications are more comparable to a locked car that`s kept in a high security car park. It could still be stolen but it would take a considerable amount of time, skill and effort to do so. Why DevExtras .NET Obfusasm?DevExtras .NET Obfuscator allows you to protect your assemblies by using a variety of advanced obfuscation techniques and is very easy to integrate into your release Process. The assemblies are obfuscated after compilation as part of the build process so your development process is completely unaffected. Assemblies can be obfuscated either via the GUI or the command line. Obfuscation techniquesSymbol Renaming Obfuscation This is the most basic but effective method of obfuscation. The names of classes, methods, properties and fields are automatically renamed making their purpose difficult to understand and navigation awkward. Code Control Flow Obfuscation The code inside classes/methods is converted to `spaghetti code`. Logic based traps are also added. This alone will crash most decompilers. String Encryption and Compression String based data within the Assembly is encrypted and compressed. Constant Literal Pruning Non-essential metadata that could be used to reverse engineer the assembly is removed as well as providing improved protection for the assembly it also reduces the assemblies size.
