How easy is it to reverse engineer .net obfuscated code?

Question

There are a few programs on the market that you can use to obfuscate your .net code, my question is, how easy is it for someone to get at your IP if your code is "so called" obfuscated.

Is obfuscating .net code merely rubber chicken security? Or is it good enough to really protect your intellectual property rights?

Answer 1

Obfuscation is like a door lock... it keeps the honest people honest.
