C# (Classic .exe, Windows 10, Windows Phone etc.) Protection

[atom0s]

SmartAssembly is not at all a good protection. I used to use it with work related projects and all of the simple drag and drop solutions to unpack SA files now a-days is heartbreaking. Along with that, the SA team does nothing in terms of supporting their product(s) and never responds on their forums to any questions or feedback.

There is honestly not really any good solutions out there to protect your application when it comes to .NET. The most you can do is use something like ConfuserEx, mod it a bunch, and just hope it keeps out the newbies that drag and drop things onto de4dot and similar.
