de4dot

de4dot is a .NET deobfuscator and unpacker. It will try its best to restore a packed and obfuscated assembly to almost the original assembly.

Most of the obfuscation can be completely restored (eg. string encryption), but symbol renaming is impossible to restore since the original names aren’t (usually) part of the obfuscated assembly.

String decrypter types
  none             Don't decrypt strings
  default          Use default string decrypter type (usually static)
  static           Use static string decrypter if available
  delegate         Use a delegate to call the real string decrypter
  emulate          Call real string decrypter and emulate certain instructions

Multiple regexes can be used if separated by '&'.
Use '!' if you want to invert the regex. Example: !^[a-z\d]{1,2}$&!^[A-Z]_\d+$&^[\w.]+$
