Abstract
An anti-debugging mechanism is implemented into a game application, such that the anti-debugging mechanism is difficult to detect, difficult to bypass, and difficult to remove. The anti-debugging mechanism is implemented in a simulated thread pool. The anti-debugging mechanism executes on a different thread than the thread on which the game application executes and is randomly activated. When a debugger is detected, the performance of the debugger is hindered by halting the game application on a different thread than the game thread. Further, a period of time is allowed to elapse before the game application is halted.
