.NET REACTOR

Examples with .NET Reactor

Functionality and Features

1. Code Obfuscation: By applying techniques such as control flow obfuscation and string encryption.


2. Code Virtualization: This technique transforms the original code into a virtual machine that interprets the code at runtime. This increases security by making the code even more difficult to understand.


3. Code Encryption: .NET Reactor encrypts the code so that it can only be decrypted by the application itself at runtime. This prevents unauthorized access to the code by third parties.


4. Licensing: The tool offers comprehensive licensing options, including hardware lock and trial versions. Developers can apply licenses directly to already compiled assemblies without writing additional code.


5. Multi-Platform Support: .NET Reactor supports various .NET implementations, including .NET Framework, .NET Core, and ASP.NET Core. This also includes support for Xamarin, Unity, and Blazor.


6. Integration: The tool seamlessly integrates with development environments such as Visual Studio and can be used via an intuitive GUI or the command line. This facilitates integration into existing build processes.

Advanced Protection Mechanisms

1. NecroBit IL Code Protection: Replaces the CIL code within methods with encrypted code, making decompilation nearly impossible.


2. Pre-JIT Methods: In combination with creating native EXE files and NecroBit, .NET Reactor can convert certain methods into true x86 native code. This increases security by preventing modifications to the assemblies.


3. Anti ILDASM / Anti Decompiler: This feature prevents disassemblers like ILDASM or other decompilers from interpreting the protected code.

Benefits

1. Increased Protection: By combining various protection mechanisms, .NET Reactor provides one of the most comprehensive protections available for .NET applications.


2. Simplicity: Despite the complex protection mechanisms, .NET Reactor remains user-friendly and intuitive.


3. Flexibility: With support for various .NET platforms and the ability to integrate into existing development processes, .NET Reactor is highly versatile.
