Obfuscators

Hi
I am interested to see the opinions on the various Obfuscators available.
Some seem to be very expensive... are they that much better?? Are there any
free ones (other than the VS included one), how does this compare to
others??

Any views appreciated.

Thanks

I recall an interesting discussion about this awhile ago:
http://blogs.msdn.com/ericgu/archive.../24/79236.aspx

Some points to consider:

MS doesn't obfuscate its core assemblies.
In the EU it's LEGAL to reverse engineer code!
There already exists a strong legal system of IP protection: uspto.gov.

ok,

This isn't directly a C# question, so I apologize for being somewhat off topic, but we have a project that is open source. When we release, the actual release builds will be obfuscated using string encryption. This is necessary because a non-open source component will include some encryption code. My question is, does anyone have any experience with obfuscators using string encryption, and more importantly, because this is open source,...

So I have a question we are looking at obfuscators. I am trying to push for dotfuscator from www.preemptive.com, but management is thinking about xenocode from www.xenocode.com. Has anyone used these applications? I am looking for a comparison or pluses minuses of either. I really don't have a preference, but I want to chose the right piece of software to protect our code.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
