de4dot is an open-source .NET deobfuscator and unpacker written in C# that restores packed and obfuscated .NET assemblies to near-original form. It supports many commercial obfuscators, decrypting strings, resources, and methods, removing anti-tamper code, and cleaning control flow.
Use cases
- deobfuscate an obfuscated .NET assembly
- unpack a packed .NET executable
- decrypt strings in an obfuscated .NET app
- analyze a .NET malware sample
- remove anti-debug and tamper protection from an assembly
- convert a wrapped PE exe back to a .NET exe
- clean up spaghetti IL control flow for decompilation
When to choose
- you need to reverse-engineer or audit an obfuscated .NET assembly
- you want to restore readable code from assemblies packed with supported obfuscators like .NET Reactor or Dotfuscator
- you do malware analysis of .NET binaries
When to avoid
- you need to recover original symbol names - they are usually unrecoverable
- you need support or updates for the latest obfuscator versions - the project has no support and releases stopped in 2020
- you are working with non-.NET binaries
