Piracy and intellectual property theft are common problems for the majority of software developers and distributors. .NET applications are also subjects for such issues. The source code can be reproduced from compiled .NET assemblies in a rather easy and fast manner, as specialized tools (disassemblers, decompilers, etc.) are quite common nowadays, allowing even users with insufficient skill and knowledge to perform such actions. The most used method to prevent such operations and ensure intellectual property protection is the obfuscation of the source code. Unfortunately the obfuscation comes with all kinds of limitations and is simply not enough to ensure complete protection. .NET Reactor is a handy program that adds additional layers of protection besides the code obfuscation and ensures that your .NET assemblies and applications are truly secured. While the obfuscated code has been cracked before, not the same thing can be said about code protected with .NET Reactor.

Besides code obfuscation, .NET Reactor also uses protection methods like NecroBit (the replacement of the CIL code within methods with encrypted code), anti ILDASM (specialized blocking of decompilation tools), anti tampering function, string encryption, and more. It is indeed a powerful tool that can be trusted to provide the best results. It also comes with a simple and straightforward interface that makes operating it a fast and easy job. more

DO NOT USE!!!! The software that it obfuscated are regarded as malware by both AVG and Trend Micro and automatically deleted. This makes your software completely useless. I sent them two inquiries and they remained silent.

We have been using Net reactor for two years , renewing earlier this year. Only last week we discovered that the product has been hacked and tools that completely remove any protection afforded by net reactor are freely available on git hub. We made multiple attempts to contact the company for advice and support but have been totally ignored. This may have been a good product once upon a time but not now...It would seem the product was hacked last year so I would have to describe the company as unethical when they accepted our renewal subscription but failed to disclose the hack.
