Babel Obfuscator vs. JavaScript vs. ProGuard vs. cloverage Comparison Chart

Babel Obfuscator is a powerful protection tool for the Microsoft .NET Framework. Programs written in .NET languages, like C# and Visual Basic .NET, are normally easy to reverse engineer because they compile to MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language), a CPU-independent instruction set that is embedded into .NET assemblies, along with metadata allowing the reconstruction of original source code. Babel Obfuscator is able to transform assemblies in order to conceal the code, so reversing is extremely difficult. This transformation process is called obfuscation. Protect your software against reverse engineering to safeguard the intellectual property of your code. Runs on Windows, MAC OSX, and Linux operating systems. Fully managed code encryption and virtualization. Simplify the deploy of your application merging or embedding all dependencies into a single file. Performs code optimization by reducing the overall metadata size and removing unused code.

ProGuard: Open Source Optimizer for Java and Kotlin. ProGuard is the most popular optimizer for Java bytecode. ProGuard also provides minimal protection against reverse engineering by obfuscating the names of classes, fields and methods. ProGuard reduces the download and startup time of Android applications and improves their performance on mobile devices. ProGuard obfuscates Java applications and pre-verifies the processed code for Java Micro Edition and for Java 6 and higher. ProGuard optimizes and obfuscates Java applications for cell phones, Blu-ray players, set-top boxes and other constrained devices. ProGuard fully supports Java and Kotlin applications, enabling developers to take full advantage of these languages’ features without sacrificing performance or security. ProGuard is a command-line tool with an optional graphical user interface. ProGuard is fast: It processes small Android applications and entire runtime libraries in seconds.
