SmartAssembly 6.2.2.215
.NET applications are easy to disassemble if they haven't been obfuscated. SmartAssembly is an obfuscator that helps protect your application against reverse-engineering, cracking, and modification.
If you don't want your C# or VB.NET code exposed internationally, or if your entire business rests on the IP embodied in your software, then obfuscating your code becomes a necessity, not a luxury.

Before and after obfuscation
With SmartAssembly, you get access to a comprehensive set of obfuscation features, including name mangling, control flow obfuscation, strings encoding, reference dynamic proxy and declarative obfuscation. It takes 5 min to download and install, so why not try it on your own application now.
Automated Error Reporting
Want to identify unforeseen bugs within hours or days of shipping? SmartAssembly offers the most efficient way to get customer feedback on your application. End-users can send in detailed error reports at the click of a button, allowing you to deliver faster fixes and improve your software in a way that will make a real difference to your customers.
Merging DLLs into one executable
Want to embed DLLs into one executable to simplify the deployment of your application? SmartAssembly offers Dependency Embedding and Dependency Merging to help you package your application into one file.
Key features:
- Name mangling
Changes the names of methods and fields to make it hard to understand their purpose. - Control flow obfuscation
Converts the code inside methods to 'spaghetti code' to make it difficult to see how the application works. - References dynamic proxy
Creates a proxy for calls to methods outside of your assembly to make it hard to find external calls.
- Strings encoding
Encodes the strings used in your software to hide such information as passwords and SQL queries.
- Resources compression and encryption
Compresses and encrypts managed resources to make them hard to understand, and to reduce the size of the assembly.
- Pruning
Removes non-useful metadata to make the code harder to reverse-engineer, reduce the size of the assembly, and improve loading time.
- Dependencies merging
Takes all the DLLs and merges dependencies into the main assembly, so you don't have to load lots of DLL files, and so that they can also be obfuscated.
- Dependencies compression and embedding
Compresses and embeds your dependencies into your main assembly, simplifying the deployment of your software and reducing the size of your program.
- Method parent obfuscation
Moves methods in your code by changing the class they are in, making it harder to understand how methods and classes relate to each other.
- Strong name signing with tamper protection
Signs your assembly and helps to protect it against modification (the additional tamper protection is not available in the Standard edition).
- Declarative obfuscation
Excludes a member from obfuscation using custom attributes directly in your code.
Debugging
SmartAssembly decodes obfuscated stack traces and generates .pdb files containing debugging information. This enables you to debug your assembly into your IDE, and get the full stack trace when an exception occurs. To top it off, SmartAssembly even helps to ensure that you're automatically releasing unneeded memory.Integration and Support
Obfuscation can be integrated into build processes using MS Build or command-line, and supports .NET 2.0 to 4.5, Compact Framework 2.0 to 3.5, Silverlight 2.0 to 5.0, XNA (xbox, PC applications), and Windows Phone 7, with some exceptionsDownload link:
