Skater TOTAL Review
33128 01/15/2016 Software 241 /Skater TOTAL has the one important feature: it completely hides source code of your whole .NET executable.
Before you consider purchasing any .NET obfuscator you have to be aware of that some modern .NET decompilers can find which obfuscator has been used for your app protection and produce a clean assembly which it can reverse easily. So .NET obfuscator software became questionable.
Rustemsoft LLC designed a new type of .NET protection software that transforms .NET code into machine codes. It completely stops .NET disassemblers. Converting the MSIL code of a .NET executable to native machine code and then removing the MSIL code from that exe, making it impossible to decompile it in an easy way.
It disassembles your .NET code and then compiles the MSIL code of your executable into native unmanaged application by generating two pieces:
1. Start module [Your_App_Name].com
2. Library [Your_App_Name].lib
(http://rustemsoft.com/SkaterTOTAL.asp)
Also as an alternative protection method TOTAL .NET Protector generates a single secured executable [Your_App_Name].exe
Since .NET is a managed environment, there is always the downside of having your code open to anyone using Reflector or Refractor. Skater TOTAL converts the decompilable Microsoft Intermediate Language code (MSIL or CIL) of your assemblies into native format while keeping all .NET metadata intact, that provides the same level of protection as native C/C++ code. Software protection programming is a very important field for most software developers. Software protection techniques are not like obvious features that can be seen and compared. Because of this most software protection vendors could introduce impressive techniques that are included deep inside the protection scheme, when many times most of these techniques hardly exist or they are much simpler than what they seem.
Even if a software protector encrypts the protected .NET assembly with the most robust cryptographic algorithm, sooner or later the protected application needs to be decrypted in order to be run by the CPU. It is in this phase when most hackers will run their work by dumping the decrypted application from memory to disk thus not having to deal with the cryptographic algorithm and reconstructing of the original application. For example, you have a program written entirely in C# that targets .NET Framework. Now you are looking for a way you could somehow compile/translate managed EXE to a native one so it could be .NET-nescient. The nature of .NET is to be able to install apps that have been compiled to MSIL, then either by JIT or Ngen, MSIL is compiled to native code and stored locally in a cache. It was never intended on generating a true native .exe that can be run independently of the .NET framework. There are too many dynamics that require the framework, such as: dynamic a
ssembly loading, MSIL code generation, etc. You can use ngen.exe to generate a native image but you still have to distribute the original non-native code as well, and it still needs the framework installed on the target machine. Obfuscation cannot protect from breaking the piracy protection security of the .NET application.
CONCLUSION
Skater TOTAL has the one important feature: it completely hides source code of your whole .NET executable.
Skater TOTAL (http://rustemsoft.com/TOTAL.asp) converts the decompilable MSIL code of your assemblies into native machine code format while keeping all .NET metadata intact, that provides the same level of protection as native C/C++ code.
