It's actually used by RtlQueryProcessDebugInformation when you're querying remote information... the routine creates a remote thread and hides it from the debugger, supposedly to stop the deadlock that would otherwise happen once the debugger receives the thread start routine. --- quote blog --- Sounds plausible. --- quote --- This allows programs which employ a common anti-debugging technique under windows to run under wine. --- quote --- I'm curious ... do you have any example apps? I have yet to see the use of this information class in commercial protections because it's actually easy to "fix" = pretty useless.
