  • TitanHide

    Hiding kernel-driver for x86/x64.

    If the poster is using x64dbg, there is another great alternative to ScyllaHide which is SharpOD, get the original files here (chinese website cause chinese author, just use google translate plugin in your browser). Where it really shines through is to remain undetected when ScyllaHide fails to do so, especially when the malware is packed by newer packers like VMProtect 3.5 (very annoying). If that's not enough too, check out TitanHide (risky), also an anti anti debugger but requires disabling PatchGuard beforehand (MUST use virtual machine).
