Dotfuscator protects applications developed with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET from decompilation threats. Why leave your door unlocked to those looking to steal your intellectual property or find security holes in your code?
San Francisco, CA. - VSLive! - 13 Feb 2002 PreEmptive Solutions, a firm that specializes in obfuscation, size reduction and optimization development tools, today announced its newest product, Dotfuscator for the Microsoft .NETTM platform. For years, PreEmptive Solutions has been hard at work accomplishing these feats with its DashOTM tools for Java. The DashO products have enjoyed market-dominance due to their power, versatility and unique patented features. Now, PreEmptive turns its attention toward .NET. The release of Microsoft's VisualStudio.NET greets new programmers with a surprising wealth of features. Because of .NET's flexibility, it is particularly vulnerable to a process called "decompilation". In effect, this process can reproduce the original source code from executable programs (a problem that didn't exist with previous program methodologies) thus exposing your program's intellectual property to theft or those looking for security holes. PreEmptive applied its years of experience in the obfuscation, optimization and size reduction and created DotfuscatorDotfuscator protects programs by thwarting decompilation efforts through the use of PreEmptive's patented Overload-InductionTM renaming technology and control-flow obfuscation. for Microsoft .NET. "Once a hacker has the source code to your program, your intellectual property and programming secrets are in plain view. Dotfuscating your code protects against that, effectively rendering decompilation meaningless while maintaining verifiably legal runtime code", says Gabriel Torok, President of PreEmptive Solutions. "Unless your project is open source and you are delivering the source code with your product, Dotfuscator is the one .NET tool no developer can afford to be without." Dotfuscator is PreEmptive's core product in their leading-edge .NET source code protection solution family. "PreEmptive Solutions' Dotfuscator provides a valuable solution," said David Lazar, group product manager for the Developer and Platform Evangelism Division at Microsoft Corp. "Microsoft is excited to be working with PreEmptive Solutions to offer developers an effective solution to protect their intellectual property on the Microsoft .NET platform." Microsoft's .NET is a great new environment with lots of benefits for developers and users alike. However, make sure you take the appropriate measures to dotfuscateTM your code to protect yourself from competitors and hackers.
