How can I reduce the generated executable size and apply protection with SharpGen?

Edit `SharpGen/References/references.yml` and `SharpGen/Resources/resources.yml` to disable unnecessary DLL references and Mimikatz resources (e.g., unused `powerkatz_x86.dll`). To further protect the output, use ConfuserEx by passing a configuration file via `--confuse confuse.cr`, which encrypts and compresses resources with LZMA. This obfuscation helps evade static analysis – a technique also explored in [AntiVirus Evasion Tool (avet) Testing and Analysis](/news/antivirus-evasion-tool-avet-testing-and-analysis).
