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.
