Spices Obfuscator description
This is one of Spices.Net plugins that assist you in developing high quality, industry standard applications

Spices.Obfuscator is product of well known Spices.Net products family.
Uncompromisable protection of your intellectual properties from prying eyes, competitors and reverse engineering.

Spices.Obfuscator is a .Net code protection tool that offers the wide range of technologies to completely protect your .Net code and intellectual properties.

The obfuscator rebuilds your .Net assemblies to the new format that is impossible to disassemble/decompile, and impossible to be understand.

Spices.Obfuscator completely integrated into Spices.Net and distributed as Visual Studio Integrated package (Spices.VSIP.Obfuscator), stand alone GUI and console version.

Why to Obfuscate .Net Assemblies?
One of the key features of Microsoft .NET is that all its languages generate assemblies containing CPU-independent instructions, or so called Microsoft Intermediate Language instructions.

.NET assemblies also include metadata that describe types, members, and code references from other assemblies. At program runtime, these instructions are converted to CPU-specific language by the just-in-time compiler.

This architecture offers developers for several benefits: it makes possible easy interoperability for code written in differing languages, and simplifies assemblies interlinks. However, there is one major drawback as well: the data contained in assemblies provide enough information to recover the original code.

This makes it difficult to protect the intellectual property in an application, which source code source code can be read by anyone.

Developers who have spent months or years working on complex algorithms or workarounds for bugs, often prefer to have their methods remain secret from others.

Requirements:

· .Net Framework 1.0 or later


Limitations:

· Random number of assembly members obfuscated
· Will generate code "as is" without optimization to comprehensive form
