Phoenix Protector is a straightforward and effective piece of software especially designed for developers who need to protect all their .NET assemblies. Thanks to its support and compatibility with every version of the .NET framework, it proves to be an ideal solution for every .NET programmer.

The main window of the application is very simple and it is sectioned in two panels. One allows you to open all your .NET assemblies you are interested in, while the other one displays the output messages.

The File menu enables you to create a new project or open an existing one. After that, you can load all the .NET assemblies and secure your code effortlessly. Phoenix Protector will automatically calculate the size and save the files to the specified folder.

Also, it provides basic obfuscation features such as String and Control Flow Obfuscation. This way, you can prevent the .NET assembly from being decompiled into an understable language by making your code hard to interpret.

By ticking the ‘Names Obfuscation’ box, you are able to rename all your assemblies and code, so they can’t be used in any .NET supported programming language. You can exclude classes, methods, fields and properties. There might be situations when the ‘Properties’ box can not be ticked, however, you need to be sure about what .NET assemblies you need to obfuscate.

The ‘String Obfuscation’ and the ‘Control Flow Obfuscation’ features allow you to make strings invisible to decompilation. In this manner, each time your obfuscated code will be analyzed, the decompiler will crash or it won’t generate any useful and understandable code.

To conclude, Phoenix Protector proves to be a steady and reliable solution that comes in handy for .NET developers who need to protect their code and applications.
