How long does it take to decompile a .NET application and steal all your work?

Do you know how long it takes to decompile an application and see all its code?

The important thing is not that someone sees your code, the important thing is what they can do with it. Not only is possible to modify the operation of the application. You can skip licensing systems, authentication, inject lines of malicious code. Imagine for a moment that the application makes a connection to a database. Having the source code visible it is very easy to locate it, access it and even steal or delete it.

Do you really think that all the hours of work, time and money invested in your application are going to be worth it if you do not protect your work and someone in 5 seconds takes over?

From Dotnetsafer we want to make people aware that not protecting your applications puts your work, your money, your clients at risk, even the image of your gang or company.

With Shield you can do it in seconds, simply drag your application and select the protection preset. You can also do it from Visual Studio or from the CLI of any OS.


From Dotnetsafer we want to thank you for your time watching this video and don't forget that in our .NET Blog you can learn more.

And remember: Now you can try for free our .NET obfuscator. You can also protect your applications directly from Visual Studio with the .NET Obfuscator Visual Studio Extension. Also, before that you can learn how to protect .NET applications.

Awesome! One thing stucks with me though. How do you manage the security behaviour with all the AV‘s out there. As I have seen, Shields will Obfuscate the executable. This will definitely trigger some AV
