Is there any difference between 'normal' and 'aggressive' presets ? #450

Hello,

First of all, thanks to everyone contributing to this amazing project ! 🙏

While reading the documentation I wanted to figure out the differences between the different presets. I ended up doing this table that compares them with their default protections:

Protection / Preset Minimum Normal Aggressive Maximum
Anti Debug :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark:
Anti Dump :white_check_mark:
Anti IL Dasm :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark:
Anti Tamper :white_check_mark:
Constants :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark:
Control Flow :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark:
Invalid Metadata :white_check_mark:
Name :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark:
Hardening :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark:
Reference Proxy :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark:
Resources :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark:
Type Scramble
Watermark :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark:

As you can see above, there is no difference that stands out between the normal and aggressive presets. Is there something I'm missing ?

Thanks

You are correct. There is nothing to miss here. Currently both presets are exactly the same.

This may change in future versions. But currently this is just the way it is.
