PreEmptive Dotfuscator renaming namespace System.Security.Cryptography.SHA1CryptoServiceProvider RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi,

    i have a c# project that i obfuscate with dotfuscator . I use the rename feature. After dotfuscating all code is nicely renamed BUT only classes references from namespace System.Security.Cryptography for example SHA1CryptoServiceProvider are NOT renamed... 

    for example , in the code below the class instance MD5CryptoServiceProvider is not renamed:

       internal static string d(string A_0)
        {
    label_0:
          int num1 = 1;
          if (num1 == 0)
            ;
          MD5CryptoServiceProvider cryptoServiceProvider1 = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider();
          byte[] hash = cryptoServiceProvider1.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(SecurityHelper.a));
          TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider cryptoServiceProvider2 = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider();
          cryptoServiceProvider2.Key = hash;
          cryptoServiceProvider2.Padding = PaddingMode.PKCS7;
          num1 = -21642;
          int num2 = num1;
          num1 = -21642;
          int num3 = num1;
          switch (num2 == num3 ? 1 : 0)
          {
            case 0:
            case 2:
              goto label_0;
            default:
              num1 = 0;
              if (num1 == 0)
                ;
              num1 = 0;
              return base64String;
          }
        }

    Anybody experiences with solving this ?

    Thanks,

    Michel

  • Hi Jack,

    Thanks for the response. But since Dotfuscator community is shipped with Visualstudio i think this is a gray area case ... Besides that there is no free support for the dotfuscator community edition  i can't find the community forum for this anywhere.

    Hoping somebody can help me out here.

    Thanks,

    Michel

  • I am only guessing here, but I have a suspicion: Given that the behavior of cryptography can be configured at runtime from the .config file, it is possible that this is implemented internally by means of reflection. Therefore, it would break if the classes were renamed. Maybe Dotfuscator is "clever" about it and this is why it is not renaming these classes.
