Re: protecting .NET code against decompilation 15 Years Ago by Narue [B]>the only goal is strong protection.[/B] Why does your code need to be protected? Usually when someone asks for this, they're under the false impression that not being able to (easily) reverse engineer the code somehow makes the application more secure. Re: protecting .NET code against decompilation 15 Years Ago by ddanbe Way back in the previous century there was a saying that code that was TOP SECRET so that nobody could view it, was mostly code that was so badly written that it was a shame to show it to other people... Re: protecting .NET code against decompilation 15 Years Ago by kplcjl There has never EVER been a way to stop decompiling code. (You can ALWAYS get the assembler code.) Strong naming or using Authenticode on a strong named assembly WON'T protect you from someone decompiling your code. The only thing both will do is authenticate your modified stolen code didn't come from you. All you need is someone who cares enough … Re: protecting .NET code against decompilation 15 Years Ago by kplcjl [QUOTE=VIeditorlover;1096735]Well, I am looking forward to some tool which woukld work like NGEN.exe and convert managed s..t into true machine code ???[/QUOTE] As I said before you still haven't stopped anyone from decompiling your code.

Obfuscation of .Net code is a very good obstacle which a hacker will need to overcome.

Re: protecting .NET code against decompilation 13 Years Ago by skatamatic The only way to prevent someone from reverse engineering your code is to [B]not give them your program[/B].

Re: protecting .NET code against decompilation 10 Years Ago by alex.s.gap Managed code can be virtualized. That makes it as strong as the native code if not stronger.

Protecting sensitive data from decompilation 15 Years Ago by reanopp Hi guys, We have some sensitive information in a Visual C#.NET app (an app that needs to be distributed to end-users).
