It’s natural for programmers to try to use obfuscation techniques to protect their work. Intentional obfuscation makes the code difficult to understand and read by others, which makes it more troublesome to insert malicious code snippets into the original code for use in cyber attacks.

There are various obfuscators available for encrypting code. If you are a .NET developer, one of the alternatives you can choose is DNGuard HVM Professional Edition.

DNGuard HVM Professional Edition provides advanced technology for encrypting NET assemblies. With support for EXE and DLL files, the application can apply code protection to source code, used methods, blob heaps, strings, and managed resources. If HVM technology is also used, the assembly code is first converted into pseudocode, which in turn is encrypted before compilation, adding an additional layer of security to the package.

DNGuard HVM can use several different encryption methods. Normal mode works as described above, but you can also configure it to obfuscate names and eliminate name heaps in the metadata. It features automatic renaming and dynamic obfuscation of control flow. All routines applied by DNGuard HVM Professional are designed to protect against reverse engineering, in-memory dumps, JIT compilation method capture and other such advanced techniques.

The additional option in DNGuard HVM Professional Edition enables you to activate a product trial, which is essentially another method of protection that helps you ensure that your code is not misused. You can define the number of days or times your application will run and provide a custom expiration message.

Full support for the x64 platform is provided. In fact, you can select full x64 optimization mode in DNGuard HVM Professional Edition, which ensures that your assembly is fully compatible with 64-bit architectures.

The nice thing about DNGuard HVM Professional is that it doesn’t follow the same steps as other obfuscators. However, it does ensure that your MSIL code is protected and encrypted one method at a time, thereby avoiding storing the MSIL code in your application’s memory. Because of its approach, you can also use it to work with ASP.NET Web-based applications and third-party libraries without exposing your code.
