## Setting up virtual machine

1. Enable kernel debugging

``` 

bcdedit /debug on

```

2. Set COM port

``` 

bcdedit /dbgsettings serial debugport:2 baudrate:115200

```

3. Turn off Firewall   

4. Install WDK Test Target. Can be copied from the following path on the host machine

```

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Remote\x64\WDK Test Target Setup x64-x64_en-us.msi

```

  

5. Set COM port for virtual machine

## Start debugger session

1. Attach to remote kernel

2. Copy sys file of drivre to the virtual machine

3. Place break points in driver code

4. Start driver

```

sc create Zero type= kernel binPath= C:\Users\debuggee\Desktop\drivers\Zero.sys

```

5. Use additional service control commands to manage driver

```

sc start Zero

sc stop Zero

sc delete Zero

```
