Microsoft to bundle obfuscation tool with Orcas
Microsoft has promised that an enhanced version of PreEmptive Solutions' Dotfuscator Community Edition application security toolkit will be included in the next major release of Microsoft Visual Studio, codenamed Orcas.
Integration of Dotfuscator Community Edition with Visual Studio will enable developers to automatically resolve build dependencies, integrate with other post-build processes such as installation script generation, and manage obfuscation artefacts.
Such technology is needed to prevent reverse engineering of code by malicious hackers, according to Gartner.
