Protecting .NET Applications with Rustemsoft

Rustemsoft offers two software solutions to protect .NET applications:

Skater .NET Obfuscator

* Obfuscates .NET code by renaming variables, encrypting strings, and obscuring control flow.
* Discourages reverse engineering by making code difficult to understand.
* Integrates into the build process through a command-line interface for automated obfuscation.
* Supports Visual Studio integration for debugging even after obfuscation.

Guardship .NET Protector

* Converts .NET intermediate language (IL) code into unmanaged code.
* Makes the resulting executable resistant to analysis by .NET decompilers.
* Suitable for protecting standalone .exe files, with limitations on .dll libraries.
* Requires referenced assemblies to be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) if not embedded in the executable.

Value for .NET Developers

These tools provide robust protection against unauthorized access, reverse engineering, and piracy. The appropriate level of protection depends on the distribution and usage of the application. Rustemsoft's offerings are ideal for developers prioritizing the protection of proprietary code and intellectual property.
