Verus contains a robust anti-debugging routine using NtQueryInformationProcess (ProcessDebugPort). The source code shows that if a debugger is detected, Verus crashes the game. However, because the source is public, cheat developers have compiled a custom kernel driver that hooks NtQueryInformationProcess at a lower IRQL than Verus, returning FALSE before Verus can read the port.
