    This is an amazing video! Your content is phenomenal and I hope your channel grows! You deserve lots of recognition for your work and I will say I believe 2k subs is a crime for the amazing videos you are putting out. Keep up the good work and I look forward to watching more of your videos!

      @@sonianuj This has to be one of the best videos on UA-cam about API unhooking. Great content. Very clear voice, well explained. Didn't understand everything (you lost me about 70% through), but that's because I don't have enough knowledge about reverse engineering. I'm just a simple system engineer.

    🎉 The most thorough step by step explanation of windows API Ghidra and debug use. I like your style. Excited for more videos and thanks for spending all this time helping others in the community. Salute!

    Hi,
    great content.... only one small suggestion if I may: if you want to get more views you must change the channel name by adding something related to malware reverse engineering. I know you from sans because I'm interested in 610.
    Great content & looking forward for next ones!

    hi Anuj,
    I have been learning a lot with your videos but I have a question; I find very interesting what you described at 06:55 in the video and I want to ask what is the difference between attaching the executable after putting this infinite loop and just putting a breakpoint at the entry point of it without attaching it? Both the breakpoint and the infinite loop won't let it execute further right?
    Always nice to learn new things.

      Hi there! Thanks for watching. So, if my goal was simply to debug find.exe, I could absolutely set a breakpoint at the entry point of find.exe like you suggested. However, at this point in my analysis (06:55), I wanted to debug a version of find.exe that had been hooked by frida-trace. This means I first need to launch find.exe via frida-trace and *then* debug it - my solution was to insert the infinite loop so that I could attach to the running (but hooked) find.exe before it terminates. I hope that makes sense!

    Hi, could you mention any ideas how to detect unhooking techniques? Provided that you already unhooked ntreadfile function (or use it's syscall), you can load any unhooked native api function from disk to avoid EDR/XDR detection. Being deaf to api monitoring, static rules seem to be applied. Any thought how to approach the topic and detect the manipulation statically?
    Love your meterials❤

    • @sonianuj

      Great question. Capa or YARA rules could help with this. YARA is often discussed, capa less so. Maybe I'll make a video on using capa rules to detect this sort of thing. Thanks for the idea!
