RustemSoft proposes Skater.NET Obfuscator, an obfuscation tool for.NET code protection. It implements all known software protection techniques and obfuscation algorithms. Majority of compilers, except compilers for.NET, create binary executables that contain machine-code commands (ASM) for the PC processor that are very difficult to. Obfuscation is a very helpful tool, and the free version included in Visual Studio can secure and protect your code to such an extent that reverse engineering it, becomes a laborious and fruitless task. A string obfuscation system that integrates in a Visual Studio C solution In this article, I will introduce a set of tools that were developed for the purpose of encrypting strings within applications.

PreEmptive Protection - Dotfuscator provides comprehensive .NET application protection that easily fits into your secure software development lifecycle.Use it to harden, protect, and prune desktop, mobile, server, and embedded applications to help secure trade secrets and other intellectual property (IP), reduce piracy and counterfeiting, and protect against tampering and unauthorized debugging.Dotfuscator works on compiled assemblies without the need for additional programming or even access to source code.

Why protection matters

Dotfuscator is a.NET Obfuscator, it helps protect your.net application. How to use Dotfuscator in Visual Studio. Obfuscation is a technique that provides the ability to seamlessly rename the symbols in assemblies as well as other tricks to foil decompilers. Through this post you will learn how to use dotfuscator in visual studio 2017, 2019. The Obfuscator-LLVM needs to be downloaded and compiled. The latest branch is llvm-4.0 (from 2017, the latest version of LLVM is 11.0 nowadays) and the code needs to be compiled with Visual Studio 2017 and not 2019 (as it gives.

It's important to protect your intellectual property (IP).Your application's code contains design and implementation details, which can be considered IP.However, applications built on the .NET Framework contain significant metadata and high-level intermediate code, making them easy to reverse engineer, just by using one of many free, automated tools.By disrupting and stopping reverse-engineering, you can prevent unauthorized IP disclosure, as well as demonstrate that your code contains trade secrets.Dotfuscator can obfuscate your .NET assemblies to hinder reverse-engineering, while maintaining original application behavior.

It's also important to protect the integrity of your application.In addition to reverse-engineering, bad actors may attempt to pirate your application, alter the application's behavior at run time, or manipulate data.Dotfuscator can inject your application with the capability to detect and respond to unauthorized uses, including tampering, third-party debugging, and rooted devices.
