Can anyone tell me more about the decompiler and reverse engineering issues that I've heard about with .net?
Well with a .NET assembly (exe, dll) you can use the assembly viewer, or whatever it is called I forget. It is very readible and can be easily reverse engineered. But never fear, there are ways to encrypt the assembly. Dont know what they but I have been told that their are ways within the framework.
The disassembler is called Ildasm which enables you to view the IL code. The framework doesn't provide anything to "encrypt" the IL, there will be third party tools available though.
FYI:
The first commercial code obfuscator for Microsoft's .NET platform

A .Net Assembly obfuscator can prevent others from decompiling or disassembling. Could you try our obfuscator: Aspose.Obfuscator? With it, you can:
1. Obfuscate .Net Exe files while reserve all necessary names by itself
2. Obfuscate .Net Dll Files while reserve all necessary names by itself
3. Obufcate Asp.Net applications while reserve all necessary names by itself
4. Obfuscate applications whose type information is decided at runtime while reserve all necessary names by yourself
You can find more information at http://www.aspose.com and your comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Ok aspose..now you are just spamming! Once was enough.
Thank you.
hehe. Hey aspose can we see the source code?:D
there is SALAMANDER...the first .NET decompiler...it decompiles EXE's to VB.NET, C#, C++, J# code...
ah..it only decompiles .NET exe's lol
