phantom_thread is a POC kernel driver designed for manual mapping and hides the system thread it creates. the driver spoofs it's system threads start address and uses KeEnterGuardedRegion()
to avoid asynchronous procedure calls (APCs). This subverts bad actors that could be looking to find the spoofed system thread. this was a driver i wrote when i was bored for fun not for bypassing any specific anticheats/services.
- manual map support: designed to be manually mapped into the kernel space.
- spoofs thread start address: changes the start address of threads to enhance security and obfuscation through the usage of a gadget in a signed module.
- apc avoidance: utilizes
KeEnterGuardedRegion()
to prevent APCs from being queued upon the thread finding that it links back to an unsigned module.
