/*
* How this will work:
*
* 1. The KPCRB (processor control block) contains 3 pointers to 3 threads:
*
*		+0x008 CurrentThread    : Ptr64 _KTHREAD
*		+0x010 NextThread       : Ptr64 _KTHREAD
*		+0x018 IdleThread       : Ptr64 _KTHREAD
*
* 2. These threads are stored in a list that is seperate to the KTHREADs linked list.
*    We know this because if you unlink a process, the threads are still scheduled by
*	 the OS, meaning the OS has a seperate list that it uses to schedule these threads.
*
* 3. From here we can firstly check if the KTHREAD is within the KTHREAD linked list,
*    if it is we can then use this to check if its in the PspCidTable by passing it
*    to PsGetThreadId which returns the thread id by enumerating the PspCidTable and
*    finding the corresponding object pointer. If the thread id is not found, we know
*    that it's been removed from the PspCidTable, and if the thread is not in any
*    process' thread list , we know it's been removed from the KTHREAD linked list.

/*
* I did not reverse this myself and previously had no idea how you would go about
* detecting KiAttachProcess so credits to KANKOSHEV for the explanation:
*
* https://github.com/KANKOSHEV/Detect-KeAttachProcess/tree/main
* https://doxygen.reactos.org/d0/dc9/procobj_8c.html#adec6dc539d4a5c0ee7d0f48e24ef0933
*
* To expand on his writeup a little, the offset that he provides is equivalent to PKAPC_STATE->Process.
* This is where KiAttachProcess writes the process that thread is attaching to when it's called.
* The APC_STATE structure holds relevant information about the thread's APC state and is quite
* important during context switch scenarios as it's how the thread determines if it has any APC's
* queued.
