ResourceDecryptor v2
 

Resource Decryptor 2.0

As you probably know in the case of Reactor / SmartAssembly original resources of assembly are encrypted in an resource of the protected assembly;

This will simply get the assembly containing all resources and will save them to a file on the same directory!

Adding resources from that assembly to original assembly to the file: another story, another tools!

ResourceDecryptor v2:
- re-implemented the idea of original tool (v1); now it uses easyhook:
https://easyhook.github.io/downloads.html
- Now is released as AnyCpu and as 32 bits.
It is very hard to find target which use this kind of protection;
AssemblyResolver method with second parameter System.ResolveEventArgs
the method returns and Reflection.Assembly containing resources;
this tools will simply save that Assembly to a file.

This is a very useful tool. I've encountered .NET Reactor and SmartAssembly protected assemblies where resources are encrypted and embedded, and having a quick way to extract them is a great first step. I especially like the EasyHook implementation, which makes it work across different architectures.

One thing I'm curious about: after extracting the resource assembly, what's the typical workflow to merge those resources back into the original (decrypted) assembly? Are there any tools or scripts you'd recommend for that step? I've been manually comparing and fixing XAML resources, which is tedious.

Thanks for sharing this!

Hi. For reading resource to assembly you could use ResourceManager:
