Research direction

Read the two linked anti-debugging and anti-reverse-engineering articles first, then inspect the capa-rules repository to identify how rules are organized and validated. Done would mean adding rules for selected anti-debug techniques from those references, but the issue does not specify which techniques, files, or tests to use.
