[dba-Tech] .NET obfuscators

Hi Shamil

That sounds very clever indeed. When (if ever) I reach the level writing golden code, I may consider spending the $800.

 Hi Gustav --

I have tried the 'Smart Assembly' (obfuscation) tool (  ) - it's just great. And it's actually not only obfuscation tool but it has other useful features as e.g. making a single assembly from the main exe and its dependent dlls. I have tried it and it worked flawlessly for me for my customer application having main executable and a dozen of dependent DLLs.

>>Yes, de-obfuscators would be quite capable - there is no "bullet proof" defense from professional hackers/reverse-engineers. I'm looking for a tool to stop amateurs, even with a powerful de-obfuscators they will not be able IMO to reverse engineer properly obfuscated .NET assemblies.
