About Skater .NET Obfuscator
Skater .NET Obfuscator is an installed Windows application for .NET developers protecting compiled assemblies before distribution. It processes .NET executables and DLLs through a graphical interface or command line. Depending on edition and settings, features include renaming types and members, encrypting string constants, transforming control flow, protecting WPF resources, linking assemblies, and software licensing. Developers can save protection profiles and reuse them in command-line workflows, including a documented Visual Studio build step. The tool serves developers and software teams distributing .NET applications who want to make compiled code harder to inspect or modify. Obfuscation is a code-protection measure, not a guarantee against reverse engineering. Rustemsoft identifies Skater as the predecessor to Opaquer and says it remains available for existing projects.

QShield
Obfuscate your highly valuable source code and protect your sensitive assets thanks to QShield compiler-obfuscator. Protect your applications against static and dynamic analysis. Software running on untrusted environments is at risk of reverse-engineering, an application running on a device that is available to an attacker is vulnerable to a wide range of techniques used to try and extract secrets, and intellectual property. To prevent unauthorized parties from gaining insight, tampering with or even recovering the source code from the binary, software protection mechanisms must be implemented to preserve revenues and intellectual property. 30+ obfuscation schemes are available. Granular control of the protection profile thanks to a file-based policy or comments throughout the code. Build diversification, each compiled application is different with a user-controlled randomness seed. Integrity checks and detection of debuggers, emulators, and hooking frameworks.

JSDefender
Cutting-edge JavaScript obfuscation techniques with control-flow flattening, tamper detection and other in-app protection transforms. We would not send our own unprotected code to a remote service controlled by third parties and we would not expect you to either. JSDefender supports major JavaScript frameworks, runtimes, and bundlers including Angular, Node, React, React Native, Webpack and others. Unlike languages like .NET and Java that are compiled to intermediate, stack-based assembly instructions before being distributed in binary form, JavaScript apps are typically distributed in source form. This means that your code is directly visible to anyone with access to the execution environment (like a browser). So, potential attackers can very easily step through the running code using a debugger built into their browser, or use other tools to statically analyze the code for vulnerabilities.

Dotfuscator
Application development teams face an ever-growing set of security threats as apps become more central to business and attackers grow in sophistication. These days, intellectual property theft is just the beginning – apps are also gateways to trade secret theft, customer/user data theft, and to identifying further attack vectors. Breaches in any of these areas can cause serious revenue, reputation, and brand damage. Sophisticated app dev organizations know that investing in app protection is good risk management. Basic renaming obfuscation isn’t enough. PreEmptive Protection Dotfuscator for .NET provides many layers of protection: multiple forms of obfuscation (renaming, string encryption, control flow, and more) plus active runtime checks (tamper, debug, root, and more). But it’s not just about protection – we design and test all these layers to be sure that they won’t break your app as the runtime platform evolves.
