AddVectoredExceptionHandler Anti-Debugging
The AddVectoredExceptionHandler technique is an anti-debugging method that can detect the presence of debuggers using Vectored Exception Handlers. This technique works by calling AddVectoredExceptionHandler(1, ourHandler) to register a top-level exception handler that will catch any exceptions raised by the process, including those generated by debuggers.
After this call has taken place, stepping through the code will trigger an EXCEPTION_SINGLE_STEP exception, …
Misusing Structured Exception Handlers Anti-Disassembly
Misusing Structured Exception Handlers is a technique used by malware to make it more difficult for security analysts to reverse engineer the code. Structured Exception Handlers (SEH) are functions that are used to handle exceptions in a program. These can be misused by malware to fool disassemblers and make it harder to analyze the code. One way this is done …
Unhandled Exception Filter Anti-Debugging
An application-defined function that passes unhandled exceptions to the debugger, if the process is being debugged. Otherwise, it optionally displays an application error message box and causes the exception handler to be executed.
If an exception occurs and no exception handler is registered, the UnhandledExceptionFilter function will be called. It is possible to register a custom unhandled exception filter using …
EventPairHandles Anti-Debugging
An EventPair Object is an event constructed by two _KEVENT structures which are conventionally named High and Low.
There is a relation between generic Event Objects and Debuggers because they must create a custom event called DebugEvent able to handle exceptions. Due to the presence of events owned by the Debugger, every information relative to the events of a normal …
CloseHandle, NtClose Anti-Debugging
When a process is debugged, calling NtClose or CloseHandle with an invalid handle will generate a STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE exception.
The exception can be cached by an exception handler. If the control is passed to the exception handler, it indicates that a debugger is present.

Another way for a malware is to add an exception into the antivirus.
