Hacking .NET(C#) Applications: Breaking Obfuscation

Presented at ToorCon San Diego 13 (2011), Oct. 9, 2011, 3:30 p.m. (20 minutes)

This presentation will focus on Deobfuscator technology targeted at Reverse Engineering protected .NET binaries.

Developers and businesses try to protect their source code and intellectual property from Decompilation, the first line of protection they commonly use is Obfuscators. The talk will cover the features of a popular Obfuscator and show how each step of Obfuscation is implemented and subsequently subverted. This will increase the usability and effectiveness of Decompilers used by both White and Black Hat Reverse Engineers and Developers.

Free Tools to Decompile and Deobfuscate compiled .NET applications will be released.
