.NET DeObfucation

Post by OClear »

Anyone here have experience with decompling mangled or obfuscated .NET programs?

I'm trying to decompile an unnamed .NET Framework 4.5 program, but I'm getting back garbled resource strings. Both ILSpy and JetBrains return the same results.

I tried running it through de4dot, but it doesn't detect any obfuscation, at least the ones it supports. Maybe the strings are just mangled somehow, but I wouldn't know the difference. Not sure where to go from here.

If anyone wants a link, I would rather send a PM to keep it private. If not, then I'm just looking for suggestions on how to deal with these kinds of situations.

Sent. Is it possible to decompile into readable .NET code, or are all strings lost?
