CIL
The Common Intermediate Language bytecode of Microsoft's .NET platform. It retains substantial metadata such as class names, method signatures and string literals, which is the fundamental reason .NET programs are easier to reverse engineer than native programs.

REA provides only static analysis for .NET assemblies, reading metadata and CIL instructions.
CIL is the intermediate representation of a compiled .NET assembly, which at runtime is compiled to native code by the CLR via JIT.
REA can analyze .NET assemblies, returning metadata and CIL instructions, with no additional tools required, only static analysis.
.NET programs deliver CIL (Common Intermediate Language) bytecode rather than native machine code, and CIL retains a large amount of metadata (class names, method signatures, string literals), which is the fundamental reason .NET is easier to reverse engineer than native programs.
