About this software
SmartAssembly is a .NET obfuscation tool that protects assemblies through name mangling, control-flow obfuscation, string encoding, and pruning, reducing reverse-engineering risk. It also offers automated error and feature-usage reporting, plus dependency merging and resource compression, and integrates into build processes via MSBuild and command-line tools.
