Solution for protecting, researching, documenting and reverse engineering .NET assemblies.
Features include:
- Spices.Obfuscator: solution for reducing of the risk of infringement of the intellectual property with a console or a GUI. Also reduces assembly size and optimizes the speed of your application.
- Spices.Decompiler: decompilation/disassembling for IL (same functionality as Microsoft's ILDASM utility), C#, C++, VB.NET, J#; A visual decompiler allows the user to build a code flow diagram enabling to analyze the code execution.
- Spices.Modeler: models and diagrams that reflects various types of assembly members relationships and structure.
- Spices.Investigator: .NET metadata browser at low level, provides detailed information on tokens.
- Spices.Informer: assembly member information provider and reporter.
- Spices.Documenter: documentation creation and management connected to your code.
- Spices.Localizer: lets you localize your assemblies.
- Integrates with Visual Studio.

DF Stack (Dotfuscator Stack Trace) is a program that lets you decode call stacks reports of programs that were obfuscated with Preemptive Dotfuscator.
Dotfuscator Community Edition (the edition included with Visual Studio) does not support this feature. You need to buy Dotfuscator Professional Edition to be able to translate stack traces, or buy DF Stack for a lower price.
Features include:
- view and translate several stacks in tabs
- user interface with Save, Load stack traces, Context menu, Splitter orientation…

Obfuscates the names of your types, fields, methods, properties and events by changing their names to meaningless symbols. Also obfuscates the metadata of your application, discarding all types and members that aren't needed during runtime. Demeanor for.NET also alters the control flow of your methods so that the resulting code is much harder to understand.
Features include:
- Encrypts string literals
- Supports incremental obfuscation of one or more assemblies
- Multiple obfuscation vectors designed to confuse both human and automated reverse engineering
- Visual Studio integration
- Command line tool for use in your batch build environment

Shuts down MSIL disassembly and decompilation rather than simply obfuscating code. It's not an obfuscator, rather it converts the decompilable Microsoft Intermediate Language code (MSIL or CIL) of your assemblies into native format while keeping all .NET metadata intact, and thus it provides the same level of protection as native C/C++ code. Further more, it offers code, string and resource encryption, and therefore, it provides even better protection than native C/C++ code.

Uses obfuscation techniques to inhibit decompilation and other forms of reverse engineering: symbol renaming scrambles symbolic metadata into useless notations; Ofuscation converts CIL into scrambled code. In addition to protecting your code, Obfuscator also optimizes your assembly by eliminating dead code, removing dead and duplicate literals, and allowing instant creation of metadata-only assemblies for .NET remoting applications.
Features:
- Protection
- Optimization
- Symbol renaming
- Metadata scrambling

Encrypts .NET assemblies without modifying the code and without packaging them into a native processor wrapper, which can alert virus scanners.
Assembly Lockbox protects code and decrypts the assemblies at run time. It uses custom lockcores so that each encrypted assembly can have its own unlocking mechanism. This means that no "golden key" can crack all assemblies protected with Assembly Lockbox.

Encrypts .NET applications and DLLs.
CodeVeil adds native code to assemblies to decrypt the assembly just before the .NET runtime needs access to the data.
Features include:
- Full MSIL encryption: your MSIL is encrypted and cannot be read with readers like ILDASM or Reflector.
- Resource and string encryption: strings embedded in your code, and resources like images and form text can now be encrypted.
- Blob encryption: selectively encrypt data stored in the blob heap. This data includes parameters for attributes, default values for fields, and method signature information.
- Encrypt both EXEs and DLLs.
- Obfuscation: obfuscate the names of public classes, methods, properties and fields.
- Anti-debugging, anti-tracing.
- Modification resistence: CodeVeil creates dependencies on the unmodified source so that a user cannot modify your assembly without making it completely unusable.

Features include:
- EXEs, DLLs, ASP.NET and SQL assemblies can be protected.
- Support for v1.1, v2, v3.0, v3.5 frameworks.
- Support for x86, AMD64 and Itanium architectures.
- You can protect a whole application (main EXE, referenced DLLs) in a single executable.
