Red Gate SmartAssembly 8.3.4.6220 – .NET Obfuscation & Error Reporting Toolkit
Red Gate SmartAssembly is a professional-grade tool designed to help .NET developers protect their applications from reverse engineering and enhance their debugging process through rich error reporting. Whether you’re shipping a commercial application or safeguarding proprietary intellectual property, SmartAssembly ensures that your code is hard to decipher and your exceptions are easy to trace.
This all-in-one solution offers deep obfuscation features, automatic injection of dummy code, and detailed exception tracking—all of which contribute to more secure and robust .NET applications.
🔐 Core Capabilities
✅ Code Obfuscation
SmartAssembly employs several sophisticated techniques to obscure source code and logic flow:
- String Encoding – Encrypts strings to prevent static analysis.
- Control Flow Obfuscation – Alters the execution path of code, making it harder to follow.
- Dynamic References – Hides class and method names through renaming and metadata scrambling.
- Dummy Code Injection – Inserts meaningless code that confuses disassemblers without affecting behavior.
This makes it significantly more difficult for attackers to reverse engineer your application or extract sensitive logic.
🧩 Error Reporting with Full Stack Trace
When exceptions occur, SmartAssembly can collect comprehensive reports including:
- Stack traces
- Method names
- Source file locations
- Line numbers (if PDBs are included)
This allows development teams to identify and fix bugs more quickly, improving software quality and user satisfaction.
⚙️ Build Integration & Framework Support
SmartAssembly can be easily integrated into your CI/CD pipelines via:
- MSBuild
- Command-line interface
- Team Foundation Server (TFS)
It supports applications built with:
- .NET Framework 2.0 to 4.5+
- Silverlight 2.0 to 5.0
- XNA
- Windows Phone 7
🛠️ Debug-Friendly Output
Developers can generate PDB files (debug symbols) and decode stack traces for use in Visual Studio, enhancing debugging capabilities even after deployment.
🧹 Resource Optimization
Unused code can be automatically detected and stripped to minimize binary size, reducing bloat and improving runtime performance.
