source code protection options

Hi all,

Could somebody give me any resources that discuss options on how to protect source code from any efforts to reverse engineer it from the built executable I've read about the Dotfuscator utility that comes with the visual studio 2005 beta... I'd like to learn about how to encrypt the exe, and any other techniques out there. Can anybody help me

Thanks,

    Okay, here's another one...does anybody know of any way to only partially protect/encrypt an .exe file   For example, say I only wanted to protect certain assemblies, but not others.  Just wondering if anybody has heard of something like this being done.

    Thanks,

    In addition to exeshield, a good and robust alternative can be found at http://www.securelm.net/.

    Thanks Matt! This does look interesting.  I'm going to download the trial version and check it out.

    If anybody else has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

    Thanks,

    Hey try my software http://www.pelock.com it's software copy protection (so called exe-protector) and license key system (with strong rsa2048 bit key encryption)!

    If you would like to ask about *anything* about it use http://www.pelock.com/contact

    There is a tool called exeshield. This can do all the licencing things that you want as well as encrypting the exe. The standard edition is pretty cheap, arounf USD80.

    Have a look at their website --> http://exeshield.com/

    An additional question; does anybody know if it's possible or practical to first enfuscate an exe, then apply an encryption method, whether it be using something like exeshield or otherwise

    Thanks,
