; Int 2Dh debugger detection and code obfuscation - ReWolf^HTB
;
; Date: 14.III.2007
;
;
; I. BACKGROUND
;
;       Possibly new method of debugger detection, and nice way for code
;    obfuscation.
;
;
; II. DESCRIPTION
;
;       Int 2Dh is used by ntoskrnl.exe to play with DebugServices (ref1),
;    but we can use it also in ring3 mode. If we try to use it in normal
;    (not debugged) application, we will get exception. However if we will
;    attach debugger, there will be no exception.
;
;       push    offset _seh     ;\
;	push    fs:[0]          ; > set SEH
;       mov     fs:[0], esp     ;/
;
;       int     2dh             ; if debugger attached it will run normally,
;                               ; else we've got exception
;       nop
;       pop     fs:[0]          ;\ clear SEH
;       add     esp, 4          ;/
;
;       ...
;       debugger detected
;       ...
;
;       _seh:
;       debugger not detected
;
;    It can also crash SoftIce DbgMsg driver (ref2).
;
;       Besides this, int 2Dh can also be used as code obfuscation method.
;    With attached debugger, after executing int 2Dh, system skips one byte
;    after int 2Dh:
;
;       int     2dh
;       nop                     ; never executed
;       ...
;
;    If we'll execute step into/step over on int 2Dh different debuggers
;    will behave in different way:
;
;       OllyDbg - run until next breakpoint (if we have any)
;       Visual Studio - stop on instruction after nop in our example
;       WinDbg - stop after int 2dh (always even if we 'Go')
;
;    Only OllyDbg behaves correctly if we permit to run process without any
;    breaks. We can create self debuggable application (as in attached
;    example) that will take advantages of int 2Dh code obfuscation.
