If developers write software in one of .NET languages, for example, C# and VB.NET, the code is easy to extract from the built binaries and modify. ArmDot, a .NET obfuscator, to the rescue! This is a particularly serious problem if a programmer creates a commercial application that should work, for example, in trial mode. Customers buy serial keys to access the full-featured version. Since the hacker is actually available source code, he can easily remove all restrictions, including checking the key. To solve this problem, ArmDot converts the code of the methods into a form that cannot be decrypted and modified. The main code is mixed with the key verification code, an additional code is added to complicate the understanding of what the code does. Finally, the code is converted into a unique set of instructions for a unique virtual machine. Another popular feature is the ability to include assets and dependencies in the assembly, and these files are in the process memory, they are not retrieved to disk.
