------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
The whitepaper linked here provides a few examples for antidebugging
techniques that can be used under the Windows operating system.
DETAILS
Introduction:
The number of computer hackers/crackers have reached a very high level
recently. It is very hard to develop a product that will be secure against
reverse engineering attacks, to be const-stricto it is surely impossible.
However, if we can, why not make their dirty work harder?
The paper discusses several techniques:
* Open CSRSS.EXE to detect SEH debugger
* Use the CheckRemoteDebuggerPresent API provided by Windows XP
* Protect ExitProcess to detect Softice/D*
