The "Kernel-Bridge" project is a Windows kernel driver template, development framework and kernel-mode API and wrappers written on C++17.

• IO-ports (+ 'in/out/cli/sti' usermode forwarding by IOPL)
• System beeper
• MSRs (CPU Model Specific Registers)
• CPUID, TSC and performance counters (RDPMC)
• DMI/SMBIOS memory reading
• Physical memory (RW, allocations and mappings)
• Kernel memory management (allocations, mappings, transitions)
• Usermode memory management (allocations in processes etc.)
• Direct UM->KM and KM->UM memory transitions
• Obtaining processes handles from kernel
• Reading and writing memory of another processes
• Suspending/resuming/termination processes
• Creating kernel and usermode threads
• Memory mappings between usermode and kernel

• PCI configuration
• Processes protection using ObRegisterCallbacks
• Minifilter with usermode callbacks
• Processes and modules usermode callbacks
• Execution of custom usermode shellcodes
• Unsigned drivers, kernel and usermode libraries mapping

Driver template has full support of C++ static and global initializers and all of C++17 features (without C++ exceptions). All of API modules are easy-to-use and have no external dependiencies, so you can include them to your own C++ drivers. All of API functions are grouped into a logical categories into namespaces, so you can quickly find all functions you want.

• Support of METHOD_BUFFERED, METHOD_IN/OUT_DIRECT and METHOD_NEITHER
• Minifilter loading and filtering routines templates
• SAL-annotations and well-documented API
• Ready-to-use IOCTLs handling routine
• HLK tests passing

Download Microsoft Visual Studio Community and Windows Driver Kit.
For driver testing use VMware Player.
For load an unsigned drivers you should to enable Test-mode of Windows and disable signs checkings:

- Disable signatures checkings (allow to install unsigned drivers):
bcdedit.exe /set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe /set TESTSIGNING ON

- Enable signatures checkings (deny to install unsigned drivers):
bcdedit.exe /set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe /set TESTSIGNING OFF

- Enable support of kernel debugger (WinDbg and Kernel Debugger from WDK):
bcdedit.exe /debug on   -  enable support of kernel debugging
bcdedit.exe /debug off  -  disable it

For communication with usermode you can use a DriversUtils.h from "DriversUtils" folder that have a functions to install a driver and communicate with it using DeviceIoControl. You can directly include CtlTypes.h from "Kernel-Bridge/Kernel-Bridge/" folder to your usermode app for using Kernel-Bridge data types for requests.
