Names Obfuscation:

- Obfuscating member names complicates reverse engineering by concealing their identities.
- For executables, aggressive obfuscation of all names, including public ones, can be beneficial for self-containment.
- Skater allows for the generation of unrecompilable names.
- Obfuscation of public members in DLL libraries is generally discouraged as they are intended for external use.
- Obfuscation targets classes, methods, variables, and other assembly elements.

String Encryption/Obfuscation:

- Encryption/obfuscation protects sensitive strings from unauthorized access.
- Cryptographic methods can be used for encryption.
- Specific strings can be targeted for obfuscation.
- Skater allows for encrypted strings by including a decryption routine and calling it at runtime.
- While encryption complicates deciphering, it does not guarantee full protection from skilled attackers.
