Invalid Metadata is a crucial protection feature in .NET obfuscation that adds invalid metadata to your application. This protection prevents decompilers from accurately rebuilding your code.
What is Invalid Metadata?
Invalid Metadata works by inserting erroneous metadata entries into your application. By applying Invalid Metadata, you can disrupt the decompilation process, making it harder for attackers to reconstruct and understand your original code.
How Does Invalid Metadata Work?
Invalid Metadata works by inserting erroneous metadata entries into your application. This technique disrupts the decompilation process, making it harder for attackers to rebuild your code.
Benefits of Invalid Metadata Protection
Disrupts Decompilation
Adds invalid metadata to prevent decompilation.
Confuses Decompilers
Makes it difficult for decompilers to interpret your code.
Protects Code Structure
Prevents accurate reconstruction of your application.
When to Use Invalid Metadata
Invalid Metadata is particularly useful when you need to disrupt the decompilation process of your .NET application. This protection is essential for preventing accurate reconstruction of your code.
Applications with sensitive intellectual property.
Software that should not be reverse-engineered.
Any application where code integrity is crucial.
