Anti-Reverse Engineering (Assembly Obfuscation)
 

The purpose of this paper is to demystify the .NET assembly obfuscation as a way to deter reverse engineering. The primary concern for organizations is typically protecting their source code (as intellectual property) from reverse engineering. Obfuscation is a tactic that provides unified retitling of symbols in assemblies as well as other tricks in order to foil decompilers. Properly applied obfuscation increases protection against disassembling and decompilation by orders of magnitude, while leaving the application undamaged. A cracker can utilize the sensitive information from decompiled or disassembled code easily, so this article given a detail analysis of both obfuscated and de-obfuscated code.
