[dba-Tech] .NET obfuscators

 Hi Gustav --

I believe/expect the 'Smart Assembly' obfuscation tool from Red-Gate company

http://www.red-gate.com/products/dotnet-development/smartassembly/

should be one of the best .NET code obfuscation tools on the market.

I haven't tried it yet. I will probably try it this night. It has 14 days free trial.

You can watch their short demonstration video (3+ min) at the above URL - they are able to obfuscate not only classes/methods/properties/.... names but also actual control flow, string values - obfuscated that way .NET assemblies can't be reverse-engineered by existing tools as .Net Reflector etc.

Thank you.
