You can also use managed code with C++
Using what they call obfuscator, will not help you for a long time.
For each new obfuscator there will allways exist a new deobfuscator.
Your source's Symbols are written unchanged in the exe or dll file.
Looking to your Symbols, it's easy to understand your Source Code.
A honest compiler does not expose any Symbols, unless you Export them.
I like VB, it is an easy yet powerfull language, but it's good for

Steve,
Now that just doesn't make sense. So many people saying stop arguing, you
all sound like children, and then you throw that one in. What is the point?
Let it all die down, the argument has gone off on a tangent. I have
admitted that I only reacted due to what I deemed as an advert, nothing
else, then I mistakingly made a poor assumption towards someone else's code,
which wasn't big and wasn't clever. And again I apologise, but what we
don't need is a seagull sitting on the sidelines cheering anyone on, because
it only stokes the fire.

Nick,
Thank you for recounting your statement that our code had issues and
implying that our product doesn't work as advertised. We have gone to
tremendous lengths to make sure that our product works completely for our
customers and antogonistic statements can sometimes have a detrimental
effect on our target market since some potential customers might read and
believe them rather than taking the time to confirm our claims and the
claims made by others that our product works extremely well.
Unfortunately, satisfied users are much less vocal in these forums than
those who tend to post malicious antagonistic claims to intentionally
disrupt the accurate perception of our products in the target market to
fulfill their own agendas.

My tounge can be sharp, I suppose, although I considered these words to be
fairly light.
Anyway, this was never a debate, it was pretty much an escalating argument.
There really isn't a way to win, you just yell and posture till someone gets
fed up and gives up. I will grant I got fed up rapidly and gave up first,
but nothing more.
I will agree that my response in a debate of issues or even a dispute on
technical or philosophical opinion would certainly have been uncalled for
and would have shown that I was losing ground rapidly, but this had
degenerated into name calling a few steps back. And, honestly, I'm pretty

I actually was around in the 80's when the "cracker" term was coined to
distinguish "crackers" from "hackers" but the term "hacker" can have either

Greg,
Although we are not necessary interested in supporting decompiling code that
it intentionally confused by obfuscators, we do want to support the ability
to decompile arbitrary MSIL, even when it is created by hand and compiled
with ilasm. As a result we will be attempting to add support for decompiling
arbitrary code flow obfuscation, even when the obfuscator causes extra
branch instructions to jump around and process the instructions out of
order. Keep an eye out for a future release of our Decompiler.NET product if
this feature is important to you. We can't however, guarantee to undo all of
the other tricks that obfuscators play to confuse decompilers.

XenoCode inserts some branch instructions (br) here and there to confuse the
stack, which is very easy to remove. Our desktop version of the decompiler
works very well against those tricks, namely, you won't see those jumble
code. I will post that feature onto our online version in couple of months.

With the exception of microsoft products, I never purchase software that
ties me to a specific machine considering 1) I use removeable hard disks in
the same machine, 2) I frequently update internal components (video cards,
sound card, network card, new scanner, different digital camera, replacing
PCI modem with a USB model, etc.) such that my machine very quickly appears
to be a new machine, 3) I am a huge fan of Virtual PC/VMWare and like to
install my software into guest OS's, 4) Every 6 months or so I get a new PC,
and 5) I just don't trust software where the company could dissappear in a
year or two and leave dry in the dust.
I'm the exact same way with 3rd party ASP.NET components, they typically
lock you into a domain but for me that simply doesn't work because I might
have http:// ww w.mydomain.com /.net /.org /.info and use the non-.com ones
for mirrors incase my bandwidth usage gets close to my quotas. Most 3rd
parties would requirement to fork up another $399 for a new license for each
sever... blah. Very fortunate that for most components I would normally
have the desire to purchase were it not for the licensing policies they use,
I have the ability to create my own from scratch that often work better and
have better features and are tailored specifically for my own needs.
Decompilers are very useful for understanding the System.* internals and
fortunately there is Reflector which is free and has never let me down. I
therefore don't have the need to dump $500 and be tied to a machine that
will not be the same in even 6 weeks from now considering that I'm about to
upgrade to a dual pentium xeon pretty soon... and in the context of the
message, I'm a home user, this is not for my employment so I'm ever more
cautious when it comes to my own money. And yes, I *do* pay for all my
software, which is why I care so much.
Nonetheless, I have no doubts that its a fine product. Just one that I'll
never review or purchase.
Thanks,
Shawn

New License Keys Issued
The latest version of Decompiler.NET requires that you install an
updated license file. You should have received an updated license file via
email. Please replace your existing license file with this new one after
installing the latest release.
Cor
Cor,
I don't understand what you are trying to say here about our product
license enforement strategy.
We offer a free trial version, and issue digitally signed license
files to our customers that restict the application to the machine
where they installed it. The statement above refers to the changes
that we made regarding our license file format that prevented old
license files from enabling full functionality in newer releases of
our product.
We also offer obfuscation features to assist customers in obfuscating
their code to protect their intellectual property. We use our own
obfuscation implementation along with encryption to produce each
release of our products that we release to customers.
Using our product requires that you agree with our license agreement
which prohibits you using our tools for illegal purposes.
Can you explain what you mean by the "thief" reference?

Huh? VB is very powerful and is good for exactly what C# is good for and
managed-C++/C++/CLI is good for. Due to problems with COM+, we created a
custom transaction manager/server that completely replaces COM+ and work
much faster and does much more and it was written in VB.NET... of course,
now that we learned of the upcoming System.Transactions namespace, I don't
know where that'll leave us... but the point being that we have just as many
projects in this company written in VB.NET as there are C# and there is no
difference between the functionality or featureset or potential of the two
except that the languages they were developed in reflect the comfort of the
developer who wrote them.
If you mean to say "but its good for nothing else but [for me] its good for
nothing else but studying or playing" then I'll buy that. But to make such
a general statement, is incorrect. As a very good VB.NET developer for a
solution and he'll provide one in VB.NET. Ask a very good C# developer for
a solution and he'll provide one in C# and the same with a developer of any
other language. In the .NET world, VB.NET is no more or less capable than
C# (except in the case of operator overloading ala 2003) except VB.NET is
much better with COM-Interop than C# (at least, its easier than C# I should
say) and the IDE support is superior for VB.NET than C#.
Apart from the fact that there are endless holy-wars and religious
discussions regarding C# vs. VB.NET, I say the best tool for the job. In
the end, VB.NET usually wins with me but I've found some unique places where
C# is better suited for the task (such as my .NET-based NES emulator (not
public material, BTW)).

Shawn

Its not like everyone developing an application is so unique that no one
else is, just that the management is "convinced" they are the only ones
doing it. I consulted for a company 2 years ago that wanted me to make an
online calendar and contact management system. They even tried to get
patents on it because they were convinced that no one else was using a
calendar quite the way they were (except yahoo calendars, hotmail, and a few
others...).
They had everyone sign NDA and Trade Secret documents and everything... its
a friggin' calendar. I copied the look-and-feel from Yahoo and the same
work flow (which incidentally happened to be the same that this company
wanted) only I implemented it myself and they thought that theirs was the
only one until I showed them a few others that were out there.
My point is that everyone wants to protect their work (rightfully so, I
suspect I'm the same way only I don't care as much since I realize a
determined person will uncover my "secrets" in no time, anyway) all equally
convinced that they are doing something that no one else is doing only, many
people are doing it all equally convinced that they need to "protect" their
IP because no one else is doing it. Its a vicious cycle of nonsense.
In all the places I've consulted and been full-time employed... the only
thing different about their respective business applications is some take
the concept to one extreme while others take it to another... functionality
might be greatly improved in some companies, but in the end, they are all
the same application over and over and over...... input custom info,
generate invoice, balance the books, keep a list of contacts for follow-ups,
post the invoice... post the payment... post this, reverse that, input this,
data-mine that... its all the same, relatively. Nothing novel about it.
Occasionally I see something that is actually quite inique and impressive so
it is the exception... I'd say a good 80% of business apps out there share
much in common with each other and aren't worth "protecting".

I've on many original source code bases that have no comments... don't need

We'll written code, on the other hand, doesn't need comments except in
complex "workflows" more or less explaining a process or business rule, but
in the end, the code itself rarely needs comments. I find it very difficult
to read code with too many comments or the damned C# XML documentation ...
500 lines of XML docs for only 30 lines of C# code... ugh. I document the
XML comments externally using a utility I created...
* Too many comments: bad
* Not enough comments: ok for well-written code, bad for poorly written code

I was referring to my decompiles of the System.* namespaces, of which, we do
not have the pdb files, and so therefore, there is no product that will
provide such functionality. I do not decompile assemblies for which I have
the source code for and presumably, I won't have pdb files for assemblies
that I don't have the source code for anyway. I'm not in the habbit of
peeking at other peoples code unless they provide it to me in some way (and
I don't peek at GPL code either as I dissagree with the license terms in
general) and it is so much more fun to come up with my own implementation
and learn along the way, anyway. The System.* namespaces are the only
exception and there is much to be learned about their internal workings and
at the very least, microsoft doesn't condemn doing so and so I feel no
guilt. Of course, there's always Rotor... but... not to go off-topic.
I was not making any comments about the capabilities of your product as I
really have no clue about its capabilities. I was only stating an opinion
of mine and it was not meant to be an authoritive, definitive, factual
conclusion of the matter.

much in common with each other and aren't worth "protecting".
If you used the CLS to develop any application (not an applet)
containing non public domain algorithms and released it to the public,
post it's Demo URL here if you don't fear it to be reverse engineered.
Thanks
VS
PS - I put my hand on the Holy Bible and swear not even think about
reverse engineer it even if it has any value (for me:).
These are not local variable names. They are symbols that are probably field
or property names which are in the compiled assembly. The local variables
are only present in the pdb file.

While I appreciate that you are rather fervent about this, you are really
starting to push the point here. Up to this point I have seen no behaviour
by Jungle Creatures outside of supporting their product(and suggesting it
when people ask about decompilers).
Not that I ever denied that, I just absolutly hate that method of
advertising and that is what I percieved it to be. That isn't what the
newsgroup was intended for. If by any chance it wasn't a sales push then as
mr "Vortex" is a possible client or end user of JungleCreatures /
Decompiler.NET, they should conduct their chit chat elsewhere. This isn't a
forum for JungleCreatues to offer support on their products is it?
Your comments on this thread have been inappropriate, as have several
others(CJ Taylor and Brian Henry come to mind), and you comprise what I
would consider those who should go away, atleast from this thread.
Yup, my comments can be *very* inappropriate at times, but I am not
leaving this newsgroup, I've been here long enough now and respect many of
the hard working participants. Just because I am not an MVP, or CJ or
Brian, that is the only reason you are making this statement, which
personally I believe to be unfair. But expected from an MVP, no offence but
sometimes they can get a little too authorative, the status doesnt come with
a uniform does it?
Believe it or not, I am a regular of this group and do not always get
irate by this kind of thing, but sometimes I do. If *you* don't like what
you read, put it in your "block list".
The original poster is frustrating, to be sure, but you are being just as
bad. This is not a forum for conspiracy theories or for bashing other
people, even if they make a product you don't care for.
Oh well, pots and kettles, but you are not the referee, so there is no
need to start blowing your whistle.
At the moment "mate" *I* don't even make products I care for, it's been
one of those days!
Nick.
>(the m...f... who entered my system got it) >
hmmm.........
I understand that you find the product useful and fully appreciate it.and
are not complaining about anything.
We are just discussing here whether or not you understand that the local
variable names are present in the compiled dll or not.
Go ahead and compile this simple code intoa dll nd post the output from your
magic bixtext.exe program.
public class TestLocalVariables
{
public void Method1 ()
{
int theIntLocalVariable = 0;
bool theBoolLocalVariable = false;
object theObjectLocalVariable = null;
}
}
Now, if what you claim is true, we should see these symbols in your
bixtext.exe output that you ran on the dll.
theIntLocalVariable
theBoolLocalVariable
theObjectLocalVariable

Shawn,
Our hardware check, similar to Microsoft, is not dependant on these
minor hardware changed. If a customer does occasionally replace their
motherboard or needs to move to a new machine, we will reissue
licenses that expire on the old machine. Hardware checks are to only
way that we can avoid sharing of the application by multiple users. If
you are replacing your machine soon, you should wait before purchasing
our products.
I have the ability to create my own from scratch that often work better and
have better features and are tailored specifically for my own needs.
This took me over two years to write. Feel free to write your own if
you like. I am looking forward to the next third party review
comparing our products. Not only does the code we produce run
correctly, but it is higher level that what other tools produce since
we have spent more time on our optimizer.
fortunately there is Reflector which is free and has never let me down.
You can thank me for that as well since I've been helping Lutz by
sending code generation bugs in Reflector, and snippets to reproduce
the issues, as well as testing some of his releases before he makes
them public. At least the last 10 bugs he fixed were reported to him
by me.
I therefore don't have the need to dump $500 and be tied to a machine
As I said, it can be moved, but not shared with other people at the
same time.
I'm a home user, this is not for my employment so I'm ever more
cautious when it comes to my own money. And yes, I *do* pay for all my
software, which is why I care so much.
Your time is also valuable. We also including new features like
automatic refactoring that noone else provides and a built in
obfuscator that Reflector does not have. If Reflector wasn't free,
you'd probably be glad that our product was available to you at a cost
well below what would justify it's development cost.
Nonetheless, I have no doubts that its a fine product. Just one that I'll
never review or purchase.
You should try it out before you judge it. The latest release has an
early look at a browser interface feature we will be fully supporting
soon that is similar to what Reflector offers.
Jonathan
Again, I didn't judge your product.
I can respect that you don't want multiple people using a single license,
I'm a home user and so there never would be more than one people on my
licenses, even though I have multiple machines, and multiple primary
harddisks for each machine (removables).
Nonetheless, regardless of whether a license can be reissued, I still still
see it as tying to a specific machine. What happens if you go out of
business in 2 years? Then how do I get license reissued? I can understand
you're perspective, that your sales are strong, you've been around,
whatever. That doesn't change the fact that nothing guarantees you'll be in
business in 2 years or that anyone will buy you out to keep the product
going, or that if I choose not to upgrade after you put out multiple major
releases, you'll even consider "reissuing" another key for an "unsported"
product. I've been burned in the past, I'm very selective now.
Besides, I didn't say I'd write my own decompiler, I just said if it was
that important I could, I'm more than capable, its just not a priority and
since I don't decompile non System.* assemblies, the price is not
justifyable.
My choice not to purchase software that ties me down (regardless if I can
call you up and get another license -- just the very thing I feel I
shouldn't have to do if I purchase it) is a general rule of thumb and is not
personal. I stopped using Norton AV for the same reason, I also opted not
to update my Photoshop 7 to CS for the same reason. Its not because I'm a a
thief or whatever else people want to think, its because I dissagree with
the "feeling" of such treatment. I feel that if I purchase it, I shouldn't
have to be dependant on the vendor to continue using the software, and
regardless if a key can be moved to another machine, there isn't a guarantee
that vendor will always support the key or keep on "reissuing" or will be in
businees for as long as I might need to use the software. I dissagree with
the MS product activation, also, but I have no choice so I'm okay with it.
I have no choice because my income depends on writing software for their
platform, so switching to an alternate OS won't return the investement. My
MSDN Universal suits me just fine.
So, once again, I'm not "judging" your product. I'm just stating a fact.
The fact is, *any* non MS product that has such tight licensing will not get
my money. There are exceptions: for example, Rational software allows you
to use a "floating" license. Therefore it guarantees only the number of
licenses purchase can be similtaneously active, on any machine in the
network (I run a home network where I test my distributed applications).
There is also libronix, which uses activation, but they allow you to back up
the key so I can use it as much as I want without their "blessing". Except
each book that I activate is tied to that key so books can't be shared. If
my books or key end up on the Internet they know who the culprit is. I'm
fine with that. I'm not fine with being actively dependant on a vendor in
order to keep using the software despite all of my requirements.
You have your right to license in this manner. So be it. I have my right
to not purchase *any* product that does so, no matter how good it is. I'm
fully licensed for Adobe Photoshop, but I'll switch to GiMP before I'll
upgrade and be locked down. Same with Norton AV, I just happen to dissagree
with that kind of licensing. It does nothing to keep prices low or make an
honest user "feel" honest and makes me have to always justify myself whever
I get a new PC or upgrade multiple components of it or whatever.
Thanks,
Shawn

Is it possible to load your obfuscator into Reflector and render the output
with Reflector?
> You should try it out before you judge it. The latest release has an early look at a browser interface feature we will be fully supporting

What is the point of doing that?
You will spend a lot of time cloning this functionality and the original
Reflector is just so much nice. You can just make your obfuscator tool a
plug-in?

Our customers prefer the decompilation capability offered by the real
Decompiler.NET.
Our product has many other capabilities that Reflector doesn't include, and
we have many more planned. Some of our customers have requested an ability
to browse assemblies simiilar to the way the class browser in Visual Studio
and other decompiler tools like Reflector allow. The prmary value in our
Decompiler is it'c core decompilation capability that produces higher level
and more accurate code that Reflector, so we would also have to add our
decompiler to it, and all of our other features like our refactoring tools,
and wouldn't be retaining much from it's original value aside from it's user
interface and plugin architecture. We prefer to continue to sell our
products as standalone tools and soon integrated into Visual Studio when
2005 ships.
