ID: rename
Preset: Minimum

This protection obfuscate the symbols' name so the decompiled source code can neither be compiled nor read.

Parameters

mode: This parameter define the way Neo ConfuserEx renames symbols. Supported values are:

  • empty: Neo ConfuserEx would rename all symbols to a empty string.
    Expect many problems when using this mode.

  • unicode: Neo ConfuserEx would rename symbols to Unicode unreadable characters.
    Reflection may not work in this mode.

  • ascii: Neo ConfuserEx would rename symbols to readable ASCII characters.
    Reflection may not work in this mode.

  • letters: Neo ConfuserEx would rename symbols to English letters.

  • decodable: Neo ConfuserEx would rename symbols to decodable string. The obfuscated name mapping would be saved to output folder in the file "symbols.map".

  • sequential: Neo ConfuserEx would rename symbols to sequential string. The obfuscated name mapping would be saved to output folder in the file "symbols.map".

  • reversible: Neo ConfuserEx would encrypt the symbols. The obfuscated names could be decoded by providing the password used in obfuscation.

  • debug: Neo ConfuserEx would add an underscore before the symbols. Not intended for production use.

Default is unicode.

  • renPublic: This parameter is a boolean value, indicates whether ConfuserEx should rename the symbols even if the item is visible outside the assembly. Default is false.

  • renPdb: This parameter is a boolean value, indicates whether ConfuserEx should rename the variable names and the file names in PDB. Default is false.
