Method Obfuscation

This technique transforms assembly method implementations into complex and intertwined code, hindering readability for human hackers and decompiler tools.

Control Flow Obfuscation

Control flow obfuscation inserts additional instructions into the assembly's intermediate language (IL) code. These "bait branch" instructions distort and reorder the code's sequence while maintaining its semantics. The goal is to disrupt decompilers and deobfuscators from operating seamlessly.

Benefits and Considerations

Control flow obfuscation shields .NET methods from reverse engineering by scrambling their code. While it enhances code protection, it also increases the output assembly's size. If maximum code protection is not essential, consider disabling this feature to minimize executable size.

Skater .NET Obfuscator

The Skater .NET obfuscator offers a suite of software protection techniques and obfuscation algorithms. It safeguards Microsoft .NET applications from reverse engineering, code tampering, and intellectual property theft. The obfuscated code becomes impenetrable due to the complex program logic created by the transformation process.
