# 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
