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.

Control flow obfuscation

DeepSea Obfuscator modifies your method code such that decompilation results in "spaghetti" code, while preserving the semantics of your code.

Proxy method calls

DeepSea Obfuscator replaces highly visible external method calls with proxy calls which are hard to understand.

Anti-decompiler

DeepSea Obfuscator make fully verifiable modifications to the assemblies in order to break anti-decompiler tools.

Hiding place

DeepSea Obfuscator scatters all generated code throughout the entire assembly for maximum confusion.

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.

Satellite assemblies

DeepSea Obfuscator automatically locates and updates your satellite assemblies.

Incremental obfuscation

Based on the map file of earlier obfuscations, DeepSea Obfuscator preserves an internal API in future obfuscations.

Code cleanup

Remove unreferenced types and members

Assembly merging

Use separate assemblies internally for testing and architecture purposes but deploy to your customers as a single assembly for minimal footprint.

Assembly embedding

Embed 3rd party assemblies as compressed, encrypted resource in your assembly, and deploy only a single assembly.

Smart protection

DeepSea Obfuscator tries to minimize the amount of configuration required by employing Smart Protection rules. These rules prevent common obfuscation mistakes.

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.

Externally in XML

Specify your obfuscation settings outside your assembly in an XML configuration file.

Inject error handler

Inject automatically generated error handler to catch unhandled exceptions. Supports WinForms apps, WPF, Silverlight and console apps.

Provide custom data in case of errors

Knowing the environment in which an error occurred is critical. Many aspects are collected automatically. You can provide custom aspects.

Provide custom error handler

Make use of the automatically generated error event handlers and redirect them to your own custom error handler.

Receive error messages on your own server

ASPX page used to receive error message is provided as free to use source.

Obfuscation map

DeepSea Obfuscator will automatically create an obfuscation map containing all renamed entities.

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.

Preserve .pdb files

DeepSea Obfuscator will automatically update the .pdb files needed for debugging.

Inspection friendly obfuscation

In this mode, DeepSea Obfuscator will turn off all anti-decompiler feature such that you can inspect the obfuscation result and/or look for the cause of potential problems.

Add expiration date

DeepSea Obfuscator can make your assemblies expire at a given date. You can fully customize what will happen when the assembly expires.

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.

XML documentation

DeepSea Obfuscator removes or updates obfuscation members from your XML documentation file.

Code contracts

Automatic support for code contracts assemblies.

Code assistant

A build in code assistant helps you to create correct code snippets to control DeepSea's obfuscation features.
