visual studio - What is an .exe file stub? -
 I am learning how to obscure my assembly and for this purpose  .NET reactor  Is using. An option  "Generates an original x86 EXE file stub" , which I do not understand its purpose, I import an assembly (for example .exe file) and outputs an offfixed .exe file , Which is roughly the same size. If I checked the  "Basic x86 file stub generated"  then the software output is .exe file that is very low in size (ie .exe is compressed ..)    I I do not understand what that means. And in the documentation, it has been said:    .NET Reactor is capable of generating an original x86 EXE file stub for your application. This way it is not possible to open your protected application directly in a decompiler. Deaconer recognizes your protected application as a native EXE file.     Why do I want to generate .exe from a file which is already .exe?       Although your question was some time back, I thought I would share an answer:    Have you ever used tools such as  
 reflector ,  such as ILSpy  or  dotPeek ? Those devices can be used to generate sources from a managed assembly. If you use that original x86 stub, then those tools should tell you "to open unmanaged DLL" (or something similar) - according to the developer.
