Obfuscators - .NET Framework

Eric Renken

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.

Eric,

The question about obfuscators is comming on and on in these newsgroups. So
you will probably get an answer, but as well probably a lot (the most) will
not answer that anymore, maybe you can look what is written about it in this
newsgroup. You can refine it than with your own question about special
obfuscators.

I hope this helps,

Another tool is XHEO CodeVeil.

According to their web site, CodeVeil is even protected against ILDASM etc
by encrypting the library and decrypting on the fly.

Hello!
What does it mean "on the fly"? As I understand that on the runtime code
will present in a memory. Does this tool prevent of using "attached code" to
get IL code?

Or how the code can be protected from getting the IL code during runtime?
