The best way to test this sort of thing is to try and hack it
yourself. You can easily download .net decompilers and then look at
how easy it is to see the code.

I would also do a search on forum posts to see if anyone is
recommending or criticizing it. I have always found though with
security that it is best not to go for free stuff as you have no way
of knowing who has access to it. A company that sells security
software has an interest in ensuring its security.

The Skater obfuscator seems pretty crappy. It takes administor rights to run it, it eats all memory and tells you 'sorry, we couldn't obfuscate foo.exe' or, when it does 'obfuscate', it leaves everything intact but adds some volume to the file.

For people working with the Visual Studio Standard Edition, is there a file 'dotfuscator.exe' somewhere in the SDK? (not for poor Express Edition users I found out)
