Free VB Obfuscator

The Original FREE Microsoft Visual Basic Obfuscator

If you look at your Visual Basic compiled projects in a hex editor you'll see your object names and properties in plain english. Are you giving away trade secrets? My free Visual Basic Obfuscator will wash them away and give you more peace of mind when delivering win32 binaries, dll's and ocx files to your customers.

In this screenshot a compiled VB EXE project is loaded, "np.exe".



See those detected object names? np.exe is a small project, there could be hundreds if not thousands of objects listed in your project. One pass by the Visual Basic Obfuscator and...



All objects are renamed to meaningless text. Your application operates just as it did before, but now with less security risks. Your source application, component, or library is never modified, an obfuscated file is created and saved to the same directory with the extension "-OB".

Q & A

Can I use other protection software with obfuscated files?
Yes.

What are the consequences of using this tool?
If used properly, there are none. Make sure you test your obfuscated files after each obfuscation.

How do you use this tool properly?
When you select a file (EXE, DLL or OCX) it will be processed and all object names will be listed in the 'object names' box. Each line represents an object name. If you see an object name that you do not want obfuscated (because you do not recognize it), simply delete its line. if you do not remove the unknown or illegal object names your obfuscated program will crash. When you are satisfied with the object names list, click 'OBFUSCATE' and the rest will be done automatically. When it is finished you'll have an '...-OB...' file in the same directory as the source EXE, DLL or OCX. It will automatically be loaded for you to see what has changed.
