File size: 16 MB

SmartAssembly is an obfuscator that helps protect your application against reverse-engineering or modification, by making it difficult for a third-party to access your source code. If your entire business rests on the IP embodied in your software or you don't want your C# or VB.NET code exposed internationally, then obfuscating your code becomes a necessity, not a luxury.
With SmartAssembly, you get a comprehensive set of obfuscation features, including name mangling, control flow obfuscation, strings encoding, reference dynamic proxy, and declarative obfuscation.

Key features:
Name mangling
Changes the names of methods and fields to make it hard to understand their purpose.

Control flow obfuscation
Converts the code inside methods to 'spaghetti code' to make it difficult to see how the application works.

References dynamic proxy
Creates a proxy for calls to methods outside of your assembly to make it hard to find external calls.

Strings encoding
Encodes the strings used in your software to hide such information as passwords and SQL queries.

Resources compression and encryption
Compresses and encrypts managed resources to make them hard to understand, and to reduce the size of the assembly.

Pruning
Removes non-useful metadata to make the code harder to reverse-engineer, reduce the size of the assembly, and improve loading time.

Method parent obfuscation
Moves methods in your code by changing the class they are in, making it harder to understand how methods and classes relate to each other.

Declarative obfuscation
Excludes a member from obfuscation using custom attributes directly in your code.
