- This Python code provides functionality to detect and defend against various forms of debugging tools and virtualization environments.
- Triage Detection: Detects if the system is running in a triage or analysis environment.
- Monitor Metrics: Monitors system metrics to identify abnormal behavior indicative of virtualization.
- VirtualBox Detection: Detects the presence of Oracle VirtualBox.
- VMware Detection: Detects the presence of VMware virtualization software.
- KVM Check: Checks for Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor.
- Username Check: Verifies if the current user is a default virtualization user.
- Recent User Activity: Checks user activity; if there are fewer than 20 files, it exits.
- USB Mount: Checks if a USB was ever plugged into the computer before.
- QEMU Detection: Identifies the presence of QEMU virtualization.
- Parallels Check: Detects the use of Parallels virtualization software.
- VM Artifacts: Searches for common artifacts indicating a virtual machine environment.
- IsDebuggerPresent: Checks if a debugger is currently attached to the process.
- Remote Debugger: Detects if a remote debugger is connected to the process.
- PC Uptime: Monitors system uptime to detect debugging attempts based on system restarts.
- Check Blacklisted Windows Names: Verifies if the process name matches any blacklisted names commonly used by debuggers.
- Running Processes: Retrieves a list of running processes and identifies potential malicious ones.
- Parent Anti-Debug: Detects if the parent process is attempting to debug the current process.
- Kill Bad Processes: Terminates known malicious processes detected on the system.
- Internet Connection Check: Checks if an internet connection is present.
- Critical Process: Sets Process as critical
- PyDefender provides comprehensive anti-virtualization and anti-debugging measures to enhance program security by detecting and countering various forms of virtualization and debugging activities.
