DeepSea Obfuscator

DeepSea Obfuscator is a tool designed to help you protect your code, especially if you're working with the Microsoft .NET Framework. You might know that programming languages for this framework compile your code into assemblies, which hold IL (Intermediate Language) code and metadata. This metadata describes methods, fields, attributes, or classes, making it easier to reverse-engineer your code.

Why Use DeepSea Obfuscator?

But sometimes, you want to keep your .NET applications secure. That’s where DeepSea Obfuscator shines! It gives you the flexibility to include only the classes that matter while excluding others. So if you're looking to safeguard your Silverlight and WPF assemblies quickly, this tool integrates smoothly with Visual Studio.

How It Works

You usually run DeepSea Obfuscator during the last steps of building your application. It takes those compiled assemblies and turns them into obfuscated versions that are much harder to reverse-engineer.

User-Friendly Interface

The main window of this utility is super simple! You can add as many assemblies as you want and check them out easily. The ‘Code Assistant’ tab comes with handy tools that help you pick the right obfuscation settings.

Create Custom Obfuscation Attributes

This way, you can stop any changes that might alter the identity of ‘my type/member’ attributes or set up strong name and/or code signing options. Just choose what you want to do—preserve, modify, prevent—and pick how you'd like it done!

Error Handling Made Easy

If something goes wrong in your obfuscated assemblies, DeepSea Obfuscator creates a .map file so you can make sense of stack traces later on.

Your Code's Best Friend!

Keeps in mind that protecting your Intellectual Property in .NET apps is super important! With DeepSea Obfuscator, you're able to change class names and members into unreadable characters. So rest easy knowing you've got a solid defense for your code!
