ShowStopper - Anti-Debug tricks exploration tool

Contributed by Check Point Software Technologies LTD.
Programmed by Yaraslau Harakhavik

Overview

The ShowStopper project is a tool to help malware researchers explore and test anti-debug techniques or verify debugger plugins or other solutions that clash with standard anti-debug methods.
With this tool, you can attach a debugger to its process and research the debugger’s behavior for the techniques you need (the virtual addresses of functions that apply to anti-debug techniques are printed to console) and compare them with their implementation. The tool includes a varied set of different techniques from multiple sources, including real-world malware and published documents and articles. The implemented techniques work for the latest Windows releases and for different modern debuggers.
