GuardIT® for Microsoft .NET Framework
Protect your Applications
Microsoft .NET offers an efficient framework for devel-oping and deploying Windows applications such as Web 2.0 server or client-side applications. However, it also uses Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) or Common Intermediate language (CIL) which contains highly detailed metadata that makes compiled applica-tions easy to reverse engineer, tamper and pirate. Once Microsoft .NET applications are deployed, hackers and competitors have easy access to the source code and the embedded IP within the applications themselves.
GuardIT® is a proven commercial software protection solution for both managed and native code. It actively defends, detects and reacts against to attempted application attacks, providing durable and resilient security to today’s threat profiles which can easily bypass license management security protocols. Many software-driven Global 500 companies are using GuardIT to successfully safeguard their software assets and preserve revenues.
Arxan Automated Software Protection Arxan protects critical functions of an application through patented Guard technology. Guards are tiny security units which protect the application and each other in three ways:
• Defend against reverse engineering, tampering and any manner of theft
• Detect an attempted attack on the application code, or on another Guard
• Alert and React in standard ways such as safely exiting - or user-speci fied ways, such as silently deleting illegal assets or stealthily reporting back forensics information to a command center
GuardIT for Microsoft .NET Framework is based on patented technology that features various advanced obfuscation techniques, and is part of the GuardIT family of products. The creation of a customized GuardSpec guides the introduction of various levels of protection for your intellectual property (IP). The GuardIT Insertion Engine then inserts the customized protection with surgical precision and without impacting run time performances. Unlike other application security solutions, Arxan’s strong protection does not require modifications to the source code and neatly fits into the existing software development lifecycle (SDLC).

The obfuscation Guards in GuardIT for Microsoft .NET Framework transform program instructions into code that is difficult to understand by inserting garbage code, instruction substitution, renaming metadata symbols, in-serting dummy code and shuffling basic block. These transformations do not affect the functionality of the protected application. In addition, GuardIT for Microsoft .NET Framework does not require source code, a map file, or PDB file.
The checksum guard in GuardIT for Microsoft .NET Framework provides strong anti-tamper capability by detecting whether a program has been modified by computing a checksum within a specified range.
