The Binder is a sophisticated C# console application that demonstrates advanced software development concepts including code generation, compilation automation, and executable binding techniques. This project serves as an excellent learning resource for developers interested in:
- Dynamic Code Generation: Runtime C# code creation and compilation
- Build Automation: Automated project compilation and deployment
- Software Packaging: Single-file executable creation
- Anti-Analysis Techniques: Understanding how software protection works
- System Integration: Windows API calls and process management
- Multi-Executable Binding: Combine multiple remote executables into a single distributable file
- Individual Stub Links: Configure separate download URLs for each executable
- Flexible Execution Location: Choose between
%TEMP%folder or same directory execution - Automatic Compilation: Generates and compiles C# code into final executable
- Code Obfuscation: Randomize namespace, class, method, and variable names
- Anti-Debugger Protection: Detect and exit when debugger is attached
- Customizable Timeout: Set download timeout or run indefinitely
- Silent Error Handling: Graceful failure handling for robust operation
- Custom Icon Support: Download and apply custom
.icofiles via URL - Icon Filename Control: Specify exact filename for downloaded icons
- Assembly Metadata: Customizable assembly information and versioning
- Single-File Output: Self-contained executables with no external dependencies
- Cross-Platform Ready: Built with .NET 6.0 for modern Windows systems
- Automatic Cleanup: Removes temporary files and compilation artifacts
- Build Scripts: Automated build processes for Windows (
.batand.ps1)
- Operating System: Windows 10/11 (64-bit)
- .NET Runtime: .NET 6.0 or later
- Development Tools: Visual Studio 2022 or VS Code (optional)
- System Architecture: x64 (64-bit)
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/MidasRX/Binder.git
cd binder-tool
# Build using provided scripts
# Windows Batch
build.bat
# Or PowerShell
build.ps1
# Or manual build
dotnet restore
dotnet publish --configuration Release --output ./publish --self-contained true --runtime win-x64Download the latest release from the Releases page.
- Run the Tool: Execute
Binder.exe - Configure Executables: Specify number and details for each executable
- Set Options: Choose protection and customization features
- Generate: Create the final bound executable
# Example workflow
Enter the number of executables to bind: 2
Choose execution location:
1. %TEMP% folder (recommended)
2. Same folder as the binder
Do you want to obfuscate the generated code? (y/n): y
Do you want to set a custom timeout? (y/n): n
Do you want to add anti-debugger protection? (y/n): y
Do you want to use a custom icon for the output? (y/n): y
# For each executable:
Enter filename: myapp.exe
Enter stub link: https://example.com/myapp.exe
Enter icon URL: https://example.com/icon.ico
Enter icon filename: app.icoThe tool implements sophisticated obfuscation techniques:
- Namespace Randomization: Generates random 8-character namespace names
- Class Name Obfuscation: Creates random 10-character class identifiers
- Method Name Scrambling: Produces random 12-character method names
- Variable Name Randomization: Assigns random 8-character variable names
Utilizes Windows API calls for advanced protection:
[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
static extern bool IsDebuggerPresent();
[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
static extern void OutputDebugString(string lpOutputString);This project demonstrates several important software development concepts:
- Runtime C# code creation
- String-based code assembly
- Template-based code generation
- Automated project compilation
- Dependency management
- Output file handling
- Windows API calls (P/Invoke)
- Process management
- File system operations
- Anti-debugging techniques
- Code obfuscation methods
- Runtime protection mechanisms
- Graceful failure management
- Silent error handling
- Robust cleanup procedures
