Guardship

If you're looking to protect your .NET executable, Guardship might be worth looking into. This software disassembles your code and compiles your MSIL code into a native unmanaged application, which generates both a start module and a library. This allows you to run your application with all features and functionalities while keeping it hidden from .NET assembly browsers and decompilers.

One of the main reasons Guardship converts your executable to an unmanaged file is because disassemblers for decompiling unmanaged executables written in ASM, C, or C++ are more difficult to produce readable code from. Even if a decipherer manages to reverse-engineer your application source code, it may still be difficult to read the code with assembler blocks inside. Information about your application source code can also be lost during the compact compilation.

Compilers generally transform app source code into a format that is much more compatible with machine runtime execution. However, a lot of important information about your application source code, such as debugging and comments, can be lost during the compact compilation. Guardship's protection ensures that the decipherer cannot figure out specific details about your application source code, such as original class names, methods, work flows, and structures.

Overall, Guardship can be a useful software for developers who want to protect their .NET executable from prying eyes. It can make it more difficult for decipherers to reverse-engineer your code, and prevent them from accessing information that should remain private.
