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.

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.

XML documentation

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

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

Assemblies merging

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

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.

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.

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.

Code assistant

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