Reference Proxy Protection

ID: ref proxy
Preset: Normal
Availability:

This protection encodes and hides references to type/method/fields.

Parameters

• mode: This parameter define the way ConfuserEx hide the references. Supported values are:

  • mild: ConfuserEx would add an indirection method as proxy. (default)
  • strong: ConfuserEx would add a dynamic method delegate as proxy.

• encoding: This parameter define the way ConfuserEx encodes the method references. These encoding modes are only used for the strong mode. Supported values are:

  • normal: ConfuserEx would use static algorithms with random parameters to encode the references. (default)
  • expression: ConfuserEx would use dynamically generated expressions to encode the references.
  • x86: ConfuserEx would use dynamically generated native x86 expressions to encode the references. This mode will disable the "AnyCPU" mode of an assembly.
    (Produces unverifiable modules)

• internal: This parameter is a boolean value, indicates whether ConfuserEx should also hide internal references.

  • true: Protect calls to members inside the same assembly.
  • false: Only protect calls to members in other assemblies. (default)

• typeErasure: This parameter is a boolean value, indicates whether ConfuserEx should hide the types of method parameters.

  • true: Parameters of the proxy methods are declared as System.Object if possible.
  • false: Parameters of the proxy methods are declared with the real types. (default)

• depth: This parameter define how deep is the generated expression if encoding is set to expression or x86. Default is 3.

• initCount: This parameter define how many delegate initializer should be added if mode is set to strong. Default is 16.
