Obfuscating

JJ
I'm using Visual Studio 2005. I'm trying to protect my website dll files as
best as possible using obfuscating approach.

I've tried to use Dotfuscator Community Edition (comes with Vis Studio) to
obfuscate the dll from the web deployment project. The result is hardly
obfuscated at all (I am using the default settings and adding all required
DLL's to the Dotfuscators input).

Has anyone used this tool successfully with web deployment projects?
Has anyone any recommendations on other Obfuscators that may do the job?

Thanks in advance,
JJ

Though I haven't tried it for ASP.Net apps, as such, I have tried, and am
very happy with Xenocode Postbuild (xenocode.com)

Thank you. Will take a look.
I'm surprised there are no more suggestion though - is there no one
obfuscating their web projects?

Hi! I have recently completed an application, written in C#. When I opened one of the files with a hex editor I was amazed by the lack of protection for the assemblies. My application uses SQL Server and during install it sets up tables needed in the application. I also use a simple protection system, which stores a string (an initialization password) in the database, needed for the application to unlock after a few days have passed.

Hi I have developed a C# app which uses SQL Stored procs... which I plan to deploy as a single / low user version on MSDE. My SP's all have 'meaningful' names. However, as I want to protect my app as much as possible, is it possible to 'obfuscate' the SQL SP names?? I know I could do this manually, but then I may lose the 'ease of development' due to meaningless SP names... I already plan to encrypt the SP's themselves, but want to...
