I am trying to test different obfuscators. Before obfuscating I used Reko decompiler. It seems that the exe is already obfuscated - please look at the screen shot. Can someone please explain - why all the methods and variables seems as if the exe is already obfuscated?

Unless compiled with debug information, an executable is not expected to contain function or variable names. What makes you believe otherwise?
People are obfuscating the code. Is it just the debug switch of the compiler? A few years ago I worked in a place where we obfuscated our dll (used name mangling). So in this case |I do not need to obfuscate my dll?
Do you remember if that DLL was written in C++?
