Obfuscation
Rename types, members, namespaces and resources
Automatic exclusion of common obfuscation problems like application settings
Tamper proof string encryption For assemblies that are signed using a strong name, DeepSea Obfuscator will create a hash based on the strong name key for string encryption. Tamper proof string encryption
Control flow obfuscation DeepSea Obfuscator modifies your method code such that decompilation results in "spaghetti" code, while preserving the semantics of your code. Control flow obfuscation
Automatic re-signing (snk & pfx) If you're using strong names for your assemblies, DeepSea Obfuscator will automatically re-sign your assemblies after obfuscation. If you have not provided a key file, DeepSea Obfuscator will ask for one. Automatic re-signing (snk & pfx)
XML documentation DeepSea Obfuscator removes or updates obfuscation members from your XML documentation file. XML documentation
Satellite assemblies DeepSea Obfuscator automatically locates and updates your satellite assemblies. Satellite assemblies
Incremental obfuscation Based on the map file of earlier obfuscations, DeepSea Obfuscator preserves an internal API in future obfuscations. Incremental obfuscation

Optimization
Code cleanup Remove unreferenced types and members Code cleanup
Automating sealing
Assemblies merging Use separate assemblies internally for testing and architecture purposes but deploy to your customers as a single assembly for minimal footprint. Assemblies merging

Configuration
Smart protection DeepSea Obfuscator tries to minimize the amount of configuration required by employing Smart Protection rules. These rules prevent common obfuscation mistakes. Smart protection
Declarative using standard attributes Integrate your obfuscation settings where they are most appropriate: in your source code. Replacements attributes are available for frameworks that lack the standard obfuscation attributes. Declarative using standard attributes
Externally in XML Specify your obfuscation settings outside your assembly in an XML configuration file. Externally in XML

Debugging
Obfuscation map DeepSea Obfuscator will automatically create an obfuscation map containing all renamed entities. Obfuscation map
De-obfuscate stacktrace Just open an obfuscation map in DeepSea Obfuscator, paste in an obfuscated stack trace and DeepSea Obfuscator shows you the un-obfuscated stack trace. De-obfuscate stacktrace

OEM Support
Change namespaces Component vendors typically use their company name as first part of the components namespaces. For OEM contracts you may want to alter that namespace. With DeepSea Obfuscator you can easily rename a namespace like MyCompany.ComponentX to MyOEM.ComponentX. Change namespaces
Add namespace prefix
