Skater ver24.10.7

Visual Studio 2022 Skater obfuscator helps you to protect your .NET app against reverse-engineering and code alteration, by making it difficult for a third-party to access your .NET project's source code. If your whole business based on the IP embodied in your software or you do not want your C# or VB.NET code exposed widely around the world, then obfuscating your code becomes an essential need, not a sportsman pleasure. With Visual Studio 2022 Obfuscator, you get a comprehensive set of code protection features, including name mangling, control flow obfuscation, strings encoding, resources obfuscation, and assemblies' linkage/merging. .NET applications can be easy to disassemble by ILDasm if they were not obfuscated before distribution, which can be a problem if you have invested human hours, money, and labors in your .NET coding. Securing your code by Skater Visual Studio 2022 Obfuscator is easy to do and adds a barrier of protection against reverse-engineering and code modification.

Skater .NET obfuscator has the following 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.
• Strings encoding
• Encodes the strings used in your software to hide such information as passwords, SQL statements, and strings with credentials.
• Resources compression and encryption
• Compresses and encrypts managed resources to make them hard to understand, and to reduce the size of the assembly.
• Bytecode extension
• Insert unneeded elements into product assembly and then obfuscate them as well. It will increase your assembly final size but will give your application one more security layer.
• Assemblies' linkage/merging
• Takes all the EXE and referenced 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.
• 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).
• Selective obfuscation
• Excludes class members from obfuscation using custom attributes in Visual Studio 2022 Obfuscator interface.

Skater ver8.0

Skater .NET obfuscator has become well-known in industry since it was first issued in 2006. Skater .NET obfuscator provides sophisticated code protection, obfuscation, and encryption for your .NET projects.
RustemSoft constantly keeps developing new features, optimization, refining software interface in this .NET protection tool.

Updates in the new 8.0 version

• Skater .NET Obfuscator is fully integrated with Visual Studio 2017 RC and .NET Framework 4.6.2

• It works under Windows 10. It works well on both (x86 and x64) platforms.

• It protects XAML in WPF application. Skater .NET Obfuscator does not obfuscate XAML (baml) files but it completely squeezes them. It is not possible figure out a content of .g.resources file.

• Skater .NET obfuscator is equipped with .NET assembly browser and decompiler interface now. This is a great tool for doing an in-depth examination of various types of assemblies and also for disassembling IL code towards a supported .NET languages - C# andor VB.

• Skater protects your .NET assembly code against most of known decompilers and modern .NET assembly browsers by applying perfected Control Flow algorithms.

• .NET Licenser API assembly added into the software package. The API assembly gives ability to program the licensing features in .NET application source code. By using .NET Licenser API .NET developers are able bound a licensed application with user's hardware and check user PC unique code through authentication web-service.

• It includes Renaming XML map-file interface.

• .NET Cryptor encrypts or password-protects .NET project source code files instantly. The utility prevents others from viewing and reusing your .NET source codes. .NET Cryptor uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. It provides cryptographic secure encoding and decoding of .NET source codes.

• New Code Extension feature has been added into Skater .NET Obfuscator interface. The new option is useful for small .NET application protection.

• Skater .NET Obfuscator has a feature to encrypt Resources' System.String objects now. This is very useful for .NET developers who save a lot of text information in separate resources and want to hide it from spying eyes.
