Code obfuscation
-
Hi I am quite new in protecting code against hackers. I know that much to obfuscate the the .NET assemblies, but my questions are: Which is harder for hacker: Reverse engineering the optimized x86 code or obfuscated .NET assembly? How much extra protection does the standard anti-hacking approaches(checking the correct serial code in different places in code, adding dummy code to serial validation methods, using unmeaningful method names...) add to the obfuscated code. Thank you for your time. Uros

1 - It would be Reverse engineering the optimized x86 code. 2 - I am not a proponent of obfuscation. IMO, obfuscators will just rename classes,methods and variables to some hard to read names. Here[^] is a good article in which Jon Skeet shares his views on obfuscation. Its worth reading. :)
