Question

How does the interface attempt to attach to the operating system?

a.

By making a single direct API call

b.

By manually finding the first system component using the TEB

c.

By copying the operating system code to a random memory address

d.

By using a special hardware device to access the operating system

Posted under Reverse Engineering

Answer: (b).By manually finding the first system component using the TEB Explanation:The interface attempts to attach to the operating system without making a single direct API call. This is done by manually finding the first system component (NTDLL.DLL) using the TEB, and then manually searching through its export table for APIs.
