You probably don't need to adjust this. It has no effect on Windows

+**DisableDebuggerAttachment** **0**|**1**::
+ If set to 1, Tor will attempt to prevent basic debugging attachment attempts
+ by other processes. It has no impact for users who wish to attach if they
+ have CAP_SYS_PTRACE or if they are root. We believe that this feature
+ works on modern Gnu/Linux distributions, and that it may also work on *BSD

+ limit the PTRACE scope for all user processes by default. This feature will
+ attempt to limit the PTRACE scope for Tor specifically - it will not attempt
+ to alter the system wide ptrace scope as it may not even exist. If you wish
+ to attach to Tor with a debugger such as gdb or strace you will want to set
