This protection obfuscate the symbols' name so the decompiled source code can neither be compiled nor read.

• decodable: ConfuserEx would rename symbols to decodable string. The obfuscated name mapping would be saved to output folder in the file "symbols.map".

• sequential: ConfuserEx would rename symbols to sequential string. The obfuscated name mapping would be saved to output folder in the file "symbols.map".

• reversible: ConfuserEx would encrypt the symbols. The obfuscated names could be decoded by providing the password used in obfuscation.

• debug: ConfuserEx would add an underscore before the symbols. Not intended for production use.

Default is unicode.
