Overwatch Dump Fix

This x64dbg plugin removes anti-dumping and obfuscation techniques from the popular FPS game Overwatch. It is meant to be used with Scylla (built into x64dbg) to produce process dump files for static analysis.

This plugin can be used to dump most modern Blizzard games. e.g., It can be used to dump World of Warcraft Classic.

This project is for educational use only.

Warning

The Overwatch process patches the byte at the address of ntdll!DbgBreakPoint from a software breakpoint instruction (0xCC) to a return instruction (0xC3) to prevent debuggers from attaching.

This plugin patches the byte at the address of ntdll!DbgBreakPoint in the virtual address space of the debuggee to '0xCC' if that byte is not '0xCC'. This byte is checked inside every CREATE_PROCESS_DEBUG_EVENT debug event (i.e., whenever x64dbg attaches to a process).
