Babel Obfuscator is a powerful protection tool for the Microsoft .NET Framework. Programs written in .NET languages, like C# and Visual Basic .NET, are normally easy to reverse engineer because they compile to MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language), a CPU-independent instruction set that is embedded into .NET assemblies, along with metadata allowing the reconstruction of original source code. Babel Obfuscator is able to transform assemblies in order to conceal the code, so that reversing is extremely difficult. This transformation process is called obfuscation.
