Computer applications are simple lines of code compiled into a set of rules that trigger specific functions. As a result, malicious software can be easily created with careful analysis of targeted apps. However, developers are looking for and using methods to make source code as difficult as possible to track or reverse-engineer, with applications like Confuser being capable of living up to expectations.

Running the application brings up a modern interface that shouldn't pose any accommodation problems whatsoever. The workspace is large enough to meet any demands, also serving as a method of importing files by simply dragging desired files.

What the application wants to achieve is analyze your application or dynamic library which can be EXE or DLL, gather its source code and use several algorithms to transform it into a piece of code that is close to impossible to understand by humans.

Depending on your intentions, there are several presets at your disposal that determine the strength of encryption. You can choose from five different levels, each one displaying methods used and in what way it is resembled in the code.

What's more, advanced users find that settings can thoroughly be modified. Loaded items can have the structure analyzed, with each component selectable. This gives you the possibility to attribute a method to each function, as well as setting the strength level. Thus, with a little time spent configuring you can make sure nobody is able to reverse-engineer your application, keeping it fully secured.

Other options let you set a default output directory so you know where the result is generated, and even specify a strong key file to apply. What's more, you can save projects for later use in case you plan any future application updates. A database is created and you can load content and have it translated.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Confuser is a handy application developers might want to keep around. It's easy to use, with most requirements being to select target files. Algorithms used, as well as customization options make sure your code remains secured, with functionality not being affected whatsoever.

What's new in Confuser 1.9.0.0:

  • Stable output (i.e. given the same seed & input assemblies, you'll get the same output assemblies)
  • Generate debug symbols, now it is possible to debug the output under a debugger! (Of course without enabling anti debug)
  • Generating obfuscation database, most of the obfuscation data in stored in it.
  • Two tools utilizing the obfuscation database (Database viewer & Stack trace decoder)
