The ExclusionUtility.exe utility is used to generate obfuscation exclusion files as well as the inclusion and exclusion from protection of .NET-assembly code.
Important information
The utility requires .NET Framework 2.0 for operation
The utility features three modes of operation:
- Generating a file with the exceptions and the parameters of the obfuscator CodeObfuscator.exe (config.cfo by default)
- Generating CodeProtect.exe MSIL-code exclusion files (config.cfp by default)
- Generating CodeProtect.exe MSIL-code inclusion files (config.ifp by default)
The current operating mode of the utility is displayed in the status line and switching is done with the dropdown list in the top left corner of the program window.
When generating the obfuscator exclusions file you can set its character set. Unprintable symbols are used by default.
Exclusions files generated by the program are used by the autoprotection Wizard and by the console utilities for obfuscation and MSIL-code autoprotection (/SO_CFG, /EL and /IL options respectively).
PICTURE
You can get additional information from the utility’s help file, with descriptions of the /SO_CFG obfuscator, /EL, /IL, and MSIL-code autoprotection options.
