Hi Sergev,
Thanks for the reply.
There is no IP in the DLL.
The file is a simple security domain check and writes the usage data to a DB.
Its in a DLL as I want to use this accross several applications on the network.
I just did not want anyone at a casual glance to see the check or know the location of the audit DB.

First of all, DotFuscator is pretty much useless. Second of all, are you really sure your code is so valuable that someone would bother to reverse-engineer it? :-)
