Kernel Rootkit

Description

This is a kernel rootkit made to infiltrate a 32-bit Windows system. This project gave me a better understanding of how rootkits work and how they can be detected/mitigated.

Rootkit Features

This rootkit features the ability to:

-Protect Files (Read\Write\Create\Delete\Rename\Open\Execute)
-Hide Processes
-Protect Processes, Threads
-Protect Registry Keys (Open\Create\Delete\Set)
-Bypass Privilege Checks

Links/References

Big thanks to these two books that helped me get a grasp on programming and understanding how they work.
