What's Wrong?
This magic phrase triggers Opus 5:
"Yes. We need to remove PDBs. Speaking of obfuscation - I have .NET Reactor v6.9.8.0 here."
So we merely mention absolutely legit obfuscation tool, and that's it, we are the enemies of America.
P.S. Opus 5 is an idiot anyway.
What Should Happen?
Nothing
