Nice tool

SmartAssembly is one of the most aptly named tools in my toolbelt. As a commercial software developer, software quality and security of intellectual property are our top concerns. I rigorously tested a dozen alternatives and SmartAssembly was the last product standing. RedGate offers instant return on investment with virtually ever tool they make, and they also stand behind their products with great support. I prefer to partner with good companies and RedGate are really genuine people. They actually listen to their users, and call me to ask how things are going!

Every obfuscation software suite I have tried has failed to work with WPF/BAML applications without spending some time to make exclusions. Smartassembly performs these tasks right out of the box! The evaluation edition worked extremely well and was quite fast. There is not any annoying popups built into the products created by the evaluation while the trial has not expired, which other more expensive products inserted, breaking my application.

The interface is extremely clean and simplified when you just want to get something tested in a timely manner. While you cannot easily configure the protection using the interface to a low level degree, there is an API which you can use with your compiler to flag different functions as a type to do such a task.

The product also supports encryption of resource files, which many other products completely ignore as strings inside a resource file are constant and thus ignored. The product also features enhanced error reporting but I did not evaluate such during my evaluation.

It is the best one out there. I have tried using a few but i was surprised at the support and not satisfied with the products also. The support by {sa} team is also excellent. If you are serious about obfuscation then you gotta get {sa}.
Thanks

We tested a variety of obfuscation tools before purchasing smartassembly. The user interface is easy to use and the support we received has been excellent. smartassembly uses a number of techniques to make your code more secure and allowed us to customise our obfuscation to suit our products.

We've been using this product for over a year and it has been great. It has a user friendly interface; An easy to use command line tool; And, the support is above par. Anyone looking to find a solution to better protect their intellectual property should seriously consider this product.

After the review at http://neosmart.net/blog/2007/smartassembly/ and remarks by pro "crackers" on reverse engineering sites, we tried {smartassembly}. It turns out that it really exceeds the reviews. Our specific challenge was obfuscating only one assembly out of several in the project which are open source. This particular assembly was challenging because it has an external API and also calls out to custom assemblies. {smartassembly} was fully automated at discovering what to obfuscate and what to leave cleartext. The resulting executable passed all the automated test suite and generate clearly illegible code in a Reflector. When you turn on certain features, some reflectors can't even disassemble the DLL. For the questions submitted, the support staff answered immediately. You really must try out {smartassembly} vs. the others.
