Wow, I really appreciate this share. It helped me resolve some issues I was having with a particular binary, and even more important, it helped me figure out what I was doing wrong when attempting to manually unpack it.

I was wondering if people are still using de4dot or are there better alternatives now?

You can try this

Looks like de4dot mod is .net 3.5 based anything for 4.x or even 5 available?

Hello friends,
I hate necrobumping, but I think this is the best place to ask a question about de4dot.

The original de4dot repo is this:

https://github.com/de4dot/de4dot

This repo is archived and it is not maintaining now. There are a lot of different modified versions of de4dot, I personally use @Mobile46 's modified version:

https://forum.exetools.com/showthread.php?t=19822
https://github.com/mobile46/de4dot

You know dnSpy is also archived but [thank to open source gods] a guy took responsibility and now maintains dnSpy:

https://forum.exetools.com/showpost.php?p=127018&postcount=105
https://github.com/dnSpyEx/dnSpy

Maybe I have missed, are there anyone who maintains and continues developing de4dot like dnspy(ex)? Or all we have is modified versions of it?

Thank you.

blue_devil this was a great question, though I don't know the answer and usually use mobile46 version as well. My collection is approximately the same as this dump:
https://github.com/ipwnosx/de4dot-All-Version-2021, meaning I have no secret de4dot. There are other good deobf tools like SAE which are also growing stale over time..

I got it.

After writing this post, I have continued searching. Unfortunately, there is nobody who keeps developing de4dot (like in dnSpyex). Nevertheless we have modified versions. At least they are open source.

@zen, what do you mean by SAE? Do you mean, "Simple Assembly Explorer"? If it is, it is not a deobfuscator, am I wrong?

[sendersu]

Yeah, SAE was quite cool tool for it's age... back 7..8+ years ago
but it is still usable
https://github.com/wickyhu/simple-assembly-explorer

the only tool that could show decompilation output from more then one engine...
theoretically extendable

[blue_devil]

@Yeah you are right, but I use dnSpy and Reflector+Reflexil; mostly.

[sendersu]

dnSpy is super cool except it uses very old ILSpy decompiler engine under the hood (IL3 or IL4)
right now IL8 is available and it is a huge change comparing to what is used in old good dnSpy...
BTW, Reflexil is available as plugin for ILSpy as well, not just for .NET Reflector
