Nebula obfuscation reuses same name for multiple methods, relying on CLR signatures
The .NET CLR identifies methods by their signature, not just their name, allowing distinct methods within a type to share identical names. Nebula's obfuscation tool exploits this by renaming unrelated methods to the same single-character identifier. This is possible because the runtime uses metadata tokens and full signatures, not names, to resolve method calls. Consequently, assemblies remain functional despite apparent naming collisions, as each method's combination of name and signature remains unique.
