The linear disassemble can break easily in x86 and less in ARM64 so this might be of limited usage against hostile obfuscated code using anti-debugging. Maybe some better disassembler assistance to find out the locations and load a list for this specific implementation. Annoying to solve this one at user level. |

The following url introduces an anti-debug technique using ptrace via syscall.
https://cardaci.xyz/blog/2018/02/12/a-macos-anti-debug-technique-using-ptrace/
In the article you will find the following statement.
To automate this, I have considered scanning all mnemonics in the
__textsection and setting breakpoints on syscall or svc calls.However, this implementation may take a long time to complete for huge programs.
Therefore, this PR registers a separate command (
antidebug_syscall) from the existingantidebugcommand. This is an area for consideration.
