General Features

Protects your code and intellectual property against Reverse Engineering

Babel Obfuscator protects your code and intellectual property against reverse engineering and provides a layer of security for your software. This is achieved by applying various techniques such as renaming variables and functions, changing the order of instructions, and inserting dummy or unnecessary instructions, which make the code more complex and challenging to understand. This added level of protection ensures that your code and intellectual property remain secure, thus preventing unauthorized access and the potential theft of proprietary information.

Compatible with all .NET technologies

Babel Obfuscator is fully compatible with all .NET technologies, including:

• Microsoft .NET and .NET Core

• Microsoft .NET Framework (v2.0 to v4.8)

• .NET MAUI

• Blazor Web Applications

• Xamarin for Android and iOS

• .NET Standard

• UWP

• Mono

• nanoFramework

This allows seamless integration into any project that utilizes these technologies, regardless of the specific version or platform used. Additionally, it supports various .NET languages such as C#, VB.NET, and F#. This ensures that developers can protect their code and intellectual property across a wide range of applications and platforms, making it a versatile and reliable tool for safeguarding their software.

Runs on Windows, Mac OS and Linux

Babel Obfuscator is a platform-independent tool that runs seamlessly on Windows, Mac OS and Linux, making it accessible to many developers and users. This cross-platform compatibility allows developers to protect their code and intellectual property across various operating systems and devices without platform-specific limitations.

Additionally, running on Windows, Mac OS and Linux allows developers to use the most comfortable and familiar environment. This feature makes it easy to integrate Babel Obfuscator into any development workflow, regardless of the operating system used.

Furthermore, this feature makes it possible for developers to protect their code on different environments; for example, if a developer has his code running on Windows but wants to deploy it on a Linux server, Babel Obfuscator can be run on Windows to protect the code. The protected code can be deployed on the Linux server without compatibility issues.

In summary, the ability of Babel Obfuscator to run on Windows, Mac OS and Linux make it a versatile and accessible tool for developers looking to safeguard their software against reverse engineering and intellectual property theft, regardless of the operating system they use.

Fully managed code encryption and virtualization

Fully managed code encryption and virtualization are key features of Babel Obfuscator that provide an added layer of security for protecting your code.

With managed code encryption and virtualization, Babel Obfuscator transforms the code into an intermediate representation, such as bytecode or native code, executed in a virtual environment. The virtualized bytecode is encrypted and can only be decrypted and executed by the intended runtime environment. This added level of protection makes it more difficult for an attacker to understand or modify the code. It ensures that your code remains secure and that only authorized parties can access and execute it.

Together, managed code encryption and virtualization provide a comprehensive and robust solution for protecting your code and intellectual property against reverse engineering. The use of these techniques in conjunction with other obfuscation techniques, such as renaming variables and functions, changing the order of instructions, and inserting dummy or unnecessary instructions, makes it more difficult for an attacker to understand or modify the code, thus providing an added level of security for your software.

Simplify application deployment by merging all dependencies

Merging all dependencies into a single file is a Babel Obfuscator feature that simplifies your application's deployment by reducing the number of files that need to be distributed and installed. This can be particularly useful for applications with a large number of dependencies, such as libraries and frameworks, as it reduces the complexity of the deployment process and makes it easier for users to install and run the application.

This feature can also be beneficial in terms of application security. By merging all the dependencies into a single file, Babel Obfuscator can improve the overall obfuscation by reducing the surface of exposed code, making it more difficult for attackers to understand the code flow.

In summary, the ability to merge all dependencies into a single file is a powerful feature of Babel Obfuscator that simplifies the deployment process by reducing the number of files that need to be distributed and installed. This feature makes it easier for users to install and run the application, reduces the potential for errors during the installation process, and improves the application's security.

Performs code optimization by reducing the overall metadata size and removing unused code

Code optimization is a feature of Babel Obfuscator that aims to improve the performance of your application by reducing the overall metadata size and removing unused code.

One of the key optimizations performed by Babel Obfuscator is reducing the overall metadata size. Metadata describes the structure and behaviour of the code, such as type information, member definitions and attributes. By reducing the overall metadata size, the size of the application is reduced, which can result in faster loading times and improved performance.

Another optimization performed by Babel Obfuscator is the removal of unused code. Unused code is code that is not executed or called during the normal operation of the application. Removing unused code can help reduce the application's size and improve performance by reducing the amount of code that needs to be loaded and executed.

Integrated with Visual Studio tools family, Build Servers, and MSBuild

Babel Obfuscator is integrated with a variety of tools that are commonly used by developers, such as Visual Studio, Build Servers and MSBuild. This integration allows developers to seamlessly integrate the obfuscation process into their existing workflow and development environment.

When integrated with Visual Studio, developers can use the built-in obfuscation features of Babel Obfuscator directly from the Visual Studio interface. This allows developers to easily configure obfuscation options and apply them to their projects without the need to switch to a separate application.

The integration with Build Servers and MSBuild allows developers to automate the obfuscation process as part of the build process. This means that the obfuscation process can be executed automatically each time a build is performed without requiring manual intervention. This can be particularly useful for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) workflows.

In summary, the integration of Babel Obfuscator with Visual Studio and MSBuild provides a seamless and easy-to-use experience for developers, allowing them to integrate the obfuscation process into their existing workflow and development environment. This integration enables developers to automate the obfuscation process as part of the build process, making it more efficient and convenient.

Available also as a Command Line tool

In addition, Babel Obfuscator also supports command-line interface, which allows developers to integrate it with other tools and scripts. With this option, developers can run obfuscation as a part of their build process or as a standalone process, making it more flexible and customizable to their needs.
