Local variable obfuscation
Link Posted: 10-Apr-2006 03:42
One of my collegue started to experiment with your 9rays obfuscation tool.

We tried to obfuscate our application and then use reflector (http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/) on it to see the work it has done.

I must admit this is rather good the code is not that readable anyomore.

However I am surprised to see that local variables names are not encrypted.
I would have thought that encryting this variable would have been easier and had less impact than changing class members and fields.

Is that something some settings that my collegue did not set right or don't you obfuscate local variable names ?

Information about variable names provided by .pdb files (that store necessary information for debugging). Please turn on StripDebugInfo property in the Spices.Project that you've used for obfuscation to clear relations between .pdb file and your assembly. In this case variable names can't be restored.
