Obfuscators
-
I'm thinking about using obfuscation software for key parts of a product. There's a bunch of obfuscators on the market, and each one claims to do something all the others don't do! I haven't seen many reviews, and some of these things are hugely expensive. Does anyone have direct experience with various obfuscators? (Candidates so far are CodeVeil, Xenocode, DotNet Reactor and Spices, but that's a moving target.) Any helpful advice in general on what obfuscation can and can't accomplish? Thanks!

In order to test them you can obfuscate some simple program and try to decompile it with reflector. As for my experience, I found Xenocode to be the best one.

We use dotFuscator here. It very strong, but it's one of those hugely expensive. Other than that I have also tested a trial of {smartassembly} and I liked it a lot. It did everything dotFuscator does and it costs about ten times less.
