I can offer such a short list of .net obfuscators:
Xenocode, Dotfuscator, Confuser, ArmDot.
Maybe it will be relevant for someone.

First link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_obfuscators_for_.NET[^] gives very much what you need :-)

But that's a magical answer.

You wanted list and I gave it thanks to Google. Something best for one person, may not be the best or even acceptable for another. So "Best" is actually a perception !

For a moment, I got confused and was worried as I try to be very careful with language as I understand English is not first language for me and many other on CP.

Sorry about my mistake and the inconvenience. (And I see no considerable problem with your English. :-)

But here is the thing: the notification of my comment should reach the inquirer anyway. The notifications are sent to the authors of all posts commented and up the hierarchy. When you read some comment on your post, you should take into account that it can be addressed not only to you, but to several people at the same time, the authors of the comment you commented on, upper-level comments, and so on. I sometimes use it (not this time).

Ever so slightly offensive don't you think?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 16-Jan-16 15:33pm

5ed, but I would say that all obfuscators are pretty much useless in practice.

Mostly agree, one who wants to get to the source will reach it one way or other. However, obfuscation may prove deterrent for some of them or at-least make it a little difficult task. For example, ConfuserEx still quite difficult to break...

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 16-Jan-16 15:46pm

That's right. The systems which are difficult to break use not just obfuscation. But I've read the opinion of the cracking specialists; they claim that the protection based on any well-known products is easy to break, because they purchased all such products and performed extensive study of them. First thing to think about is: it my product so valuable to be worth cracking? The specialists will be able to crack it anyway, only if it worth it; others won't even try to reverse-engineer it, even though it could be very easy.

Of course, they would never say that they can't hack a software, there are "hackers" hehe.
But imagine that .net code is converted into instructions for some virtual processor.

And you don't know set of these instructions. You don't know which opcode means adding, substraction.

Looks like you have a x86 machine code, but you don't have Intel manuals.

How would you crack it?

Furthermore, a trash code (that does nothing but flood: say, 95% of the code is such kind of code) is added.

It's very hard, if possible, to hack.

There were one opensource project that used this approach ("virtual processor"), also there is a commercial ArmDot that seems to be use this idea.
