Protecting my applications?

What is a good application I may use to protect my .net applications from being decompiled.

Well the halomods con resigner is protected by ezirix .net protector.

It seems to work flawlessly. I am not good at decompiling things though but the programmes I have used to decompile in the past don't work on this.

the thing the container tool is protected with seems pretty good. Although ive heard that really smart people who know assembly can bypass it. Hopefully anyone with those smarts wouldnt do such a thing...

Really smart/geeky/sad people can bypass anything. Take really big programmes which have thousands of dollars spent on them like photoshop for example. They obviously took every measure to try and stop people getting illegal copies of it unsuccessfully.

Adobe? Are you kidding me? They buy 3rd party protector applications who's producers are also in the reversing scene and already admit that it's impossible to protect an application completely.

Only .NET protector/compressor I know is .NET Reactor.

CodeVeil and SmartAssembly are also good, but expensive.

There is a free version of SmartAssembly. But even with obfuscation, you can always look at the assembly.

No one really cares about reversing .NET applications since there is no real debugger out there that has the equal quality of Olly.

Hope it works all out for you though.
