How to obfuscate symbol names with a password in confuserex?

Question

For example, in Eazfuscator.Net you can obfuscate the symbol names with

[assembly: Obfuscation(Feature = "encrypt symbol names with password XPASSWORD", Exclude = false)]

but I was wondering how you can do that (doesn't matter if it includes code or the app gui itself) with ConfuserEx.

Answer 1

The answer is in the ConfuserEx Wiki Name Protection

Example:

<protection id="rename">
  <argument name="mode" value="reversible" />
  <argument name="password" value="This password is secret" />
  <argument name="renameArgs" value="true" />
  <argument name="renEnum" value="true" />
  <argument name="flatten" value="true" />
  <argument name="forceRen" value="false" />
  <argument name="renPublic" value="false" />
  <argument name="renPdb" value="true" />
  <argument name="renXaml" value="true" />
</protection>

The important parts are mode as reversible and password don't need explanation. All this in the .crproj file.

But if you want to use direct obfuscation declaration in class then use Declarative Obfuscation
