Actually, the man-page is incomplete and doesn't tell you how to

The manpage also fails to mention the undocumented PT_DENY_ATTACH flag
that applications can pass to force ptrace to fail to attach. Pro
Tools, for example, does this because the "programmers" who wrote it
spent twice as much time on the copy protection as on the actual
application.
My manpage for ptrace shows the PT_DENY_ATTACH flag. It's the second
flag documented under requests...
Anyway, for what he wants to do (obviously not a commercial
application), I think the mach traps are the easiest
way to achieve his goals. Spawning the application into memory and
dealing with an execution interpreter, as was
suggested before, is IMO way overcomplicated to cheat at a game :)
much easier to just beat the game...Attachment:
