Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The System Service Dispatch Table (SSDT) is an internal dispatch table within Microsoft Windows. Hooking SSDT calls is often used as a technique in both Windows rootkits and antivirus software. In 2010, many computer security products which relied on hooking SSDT calls were shown to be vulnerable to exploits using race conditions to attack the products' security checks. In computer science, a dispatch table is a table of pointers to functions or methods. Use of such a table is a common technique when implementing late binding in object-oriented programming.
