.NET IL can be decompiled. So can Java bytecode. Binary applications are also possible to decompile, although this is harder.

The problem is that you don't get nice, cleanly written code that way and probably end up doing more work to interpret the code than if you try to figure out how the application works and then rewrite it from scratch. I havn't tried to decompile IL, but that is my experience from experimenting with Java. For that reason I don't really worry about the possibility of decompiling.

If you are still worried, try running it through Demeanor or something like that. Many obfuscators replace symbol names with language keywords and produce metadata that are legal on the IL level, but will break the compilation (Example: giving all different variable types in the same scope the same name). If someone wants to decompile and edit code like that they must be equipped with superhuman patience...

Hope this helps
