I would like to use ildasm on Linux. The original one, that comes with the .NET SDK and can be found on Windows e.g. at c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\.

I found dotnet-ildasm and managed to install it on my Ubuntu 18.04. But I am unsure if this is the same as the "original" one.

  • Is dotnet-ildasm the same as Microsoft ildasm?
  • Did someone mangage to install the Microsoft ildasm on Linux?

The original one was a native executable and this one is build in .NET by utilizing a Mono.Cecil library to get the assembly information so if I would have to answer your first question I would answer - no, they are not the same.

Not sure about your second question as original one was Windows executable so there's no point installing it on Linux. I would use the one you linked dotnet-ildasm or ikdasm from the Mono project.

Why are you so focused on having the "original" one?

  • I am focussed in the original one because it would tell me if an assembly is obfuscated. This worked well for unknown obfuscators. – gogo_gorilla Jan 5 '20 at 20:29
  • Out of curiosity. How did ildasm told you that assembly is obfuscated or not? – Paweł Łukasik Jan 5 '20 at 20:31
  • It says “protected module — cannot disassemble” – gogo_gorilla Jan 5 '20 at 20:38
  • thx but "protected module" message is far from being obfuscated. It's just one attribute added. I can provoke the same on ildasm on a simple Hello World. – Paweł Łukasik Jan 5 '20 at 20:43
  • Ah interesting. Good point. – gogo_gorilla Jan 5 '20 at 20:44
