NuGet Package Creation and Languages

In software development, the choice of programming language influences project creation and NuGet package generation. Specifically, creating a project in C# precludes creating a NuGet package in VB.NET, and vice versa.

.NET Obfuscation

.NET Obfuscator is a tool developed by Rustemsoft that obscures .NET code to hinder reverse engineering attempts by developers and decompilers. This obfuscation serves multiple purposes:

- Protecting sensitive information in source code
- Providing amusement for developers

Compatibility and Limitations

The Protect .NET project supports legacy languages and frameworks, but compatibility issues may arise for developers using older frameworks. It was initially designed for security audits and penetration testing.

Preventing Intellectual Property Theft

The .NET obfuscator was created to deter the unauthorized reproduction of software products.

Skater Obfuscator

The Skater obfuscator tool obscures code by adding meaningless characters before letters in the program. Its purpose is to make the code unreadable and incomprehensible to others.

C# Obfuscation

The C# obfuscator processes code through multiple functions and subroutines, making it difficult to parse, track, and understand.

RustemSoft .NET Obfuscator

RustemSoft .NET Obfuscator is compatible with all .NET frameworks and provides robust protection against reverse engineering. Its command-line variant enables batch mode obfuscation for scheduled product updates. RustemSoft utilizes Skater for its own products to protect .NET executables and assemblies.

Skater .NET Obfuscator

Skater .NET Obfuscator safeguards .NET code intellectual property using comprehensive software protection techniques. It automates obfuscation tasks by assigning assembly settings in its GUI version.
