base on PoCs for Kernelmode rootkit techniques research. # VectorKernel PoCs for Kernelmode rootkit techniques research or education. Currently focusing on Windows OS. All modules support x64 family 64bit OS only. ## Environment All modules are tested in Windows 11 x64. To test drivers, following options can be used for the testing machine: 1. [Enable Loading of Test Signed Drivers](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/the-testsigning-boot-configuration-option) 2. [Setting Up Kernel-Mode Debugging](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/setting-up-kernel-mode-debugging-in-windbg--cdb--or-ntsd) Each options require to disable secure boot. ## Modules Detailed information is given in README.md in each project's directories. All modules are tested in Windows 11. | Module Name | Description | | :--- | :--- | | [BlockImageLoad](./BlockImageLoad/) | PoCs to block driver loading with Load Image Notify Callback method. | | [BlockNewProc](./BlockNewProc/) | PoCs to block new process with Process Notify Callback method. | | [CreateToken](./CreateToken/) | PoCs to get full privileged SYSTEM token with `ZwCreateToken()` API. | | [DropProcAccess](./DropProcAccess/) | PoCs to drop process handle access with Object Notify Callback. | | [ElevateHandle](./ElevateHandle/) | PoCs to elevate handle access with DKOM method. | | [GetFullPrivs](./GetFullPrivs/) | PoCs to get full privileges with DKOM method. | | [GetProcHandle](./GetProcHandle/) | PoCs to get full access process handle from kernelmode. | | [InjectLibrary](./InjectLibrary/) | PoCs to perform DLL injection with Kernel APC Injection method. | | [ModHide](./ModHide/) | PoCs to hide loaded kernel drivers with DKOM method. | | [ProcHide](./ProcHide/) | PoCs to hide process with DKOM method. | | [ProcProtect](./ProcProtect/) | PoCs to manipulate Protected Process. | | [QueryModule](./QueryModule/) | PoCs to perform retrieving kernel driver loaded address information. | | [StealToken](./StealToken/) | PoCs to perform token stealing from kernelmode. | ## TODO More PoCs especially about following things will be added later: * Notify callback * Filesystem mini-filter * Network mini-filter ## Recommended References * [Pavel Yosifovich, **_Windows Kernel Programming, 2nd Edition_** (Independently published, 2023)](https://leanpub.com/windowskernelprogrammingsecondedition) * [Bruce Dang, Alexandre Gazet, Elias Bachaalany, and Sébastien Josse, **_Practical Reverse Engineering: x86, x64, ARM, Windows Kernel, Reversing Tools, and Obfuscation_** (Wiley Publishing, 2014)](https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Reverse-Engineering-Reversing-Obfuscation/dp/1502489309) * [Greg Hoglund, and Jamie Butler, **_Rootkits : Subverting the Windows Kernel_** (Addison-Wesley Professional, 2005)](https://www.amazon.com/Rootkits-Subverting-Windows-Greg-Hoglund/dp/0321294319) * [Bill Blunden, **_The Rootkit Arsenal: Escape and Evasion in the Dark Corners of the System, 2nd Edition_** (Jones & Bartlett Learning, 2012)](https://www.amazon.com/Rootkit-Arsenal-Escape-Evasion-Corners/dp/144962636X) * [Pavel Yosifovich, Mark E.
