What is the purpose of this PR / why it is needed?
Indirect syscall evasion refers to executing the syscall instruction by diverting the execution flow into a legitimate, clean ntdll stub that performs the syscall on process behalf. This achieves code origin legitimacy, since the execution lands in .text of a signed Microsoft module (ntdll.dll). Stack frames look identical to a normal API call, which achieves call stack normalization.
This PR adds a new scanner to detect indirect syscall evasion, along with the corresponding filter fields that can be evaluated in the rules.
