This Go package provides functionality to detect and defend against various forms of debugging tools and virtualization environments.
By the way, for quick setup, run install.bat.
Anti-Virtualization
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.
Anti-Debug
This module includes functions to detect and prevent debugging and analysis of the running process.
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.
Detects Usermode AntiAntiDebuggers: Detects user-mode anti-anti-debuggers like ScyllaHide (BASIC).
Internet Connection Check: Checks if an internet connection is present.
Process
This module focuses on critical processes that should be monitored or protected.
Critical Process: Implements functionality to manage critical processes essential for system operation.
SeDebugPrivilege: Grants better permissions.
Quick Nutshell
Detects most anti-anti-debugging hooking methods on common anti-debugging functions by checking for bad instructions on function addresses (most effective on x64). It also detects user-mode anti-anti-debuggers like ScyllaHide and can detect some sandboxes that use hooking to monitor application behavior/activity (like Tria.ge).

https://github.com/AdvDebug: Inspired me to start making this package. Without him, it wouldn't be here. Check out his GitHub.
I made this because I noticed someone was trying to crack or analyze my other Go programs. Previously, I had many lines of anti-debugging code (I coded lazily and put everything into one), so I wanted to create something quick and reliable that would make a reverse engineer's life harder. Thus, I made GoDefender.
