The cyber security industry has grown considerably in recent years, with more sophisticated attacks and consequently more defenders. To have a fighting chance against these kinds of attacks, kernel mode drivers must be employed, where nothing (at least nothing from user mode) can escape their eyes. The course provides the foundations for the most common software device drivers that are useful not just in cyber security, but also other scenarios, where monitoring and sometimes prevention of operations is required. Participants will write real device drivers with useful features that can then be modified and adapted to their particular needs.The course includes tips and techniques employed by the instructor in their own projects, based on years of experience.

ScorpioSoftware: Advance Windows Kernel Programming

The Windows system-level APIs provides a rich infrastructure for building Windows applications, whether client, server, and anything in between. This course guides the learner through the intricacies of the Windows API, while getting a deeper understanding of Windows mechanisms. The course deals with the most important parts of the Windows OS, such as processes, threads, memory management, I/O, services, security and more. Lab exercises help put the theoretical material into practical use.

ScorpioSoftware: Windows System Programming

The Windows OS exposes many advanced services to system programmers through the Windows API, and to device driver writers through the Kernel API. The .NET framework wraps these services and runs on top of the Windows API and the Kernel. Good knowledge of what’s going on under the hood of the OS, which services are available and how to best utilize them helps in building better and more efficient software for Windows. Those working in the Cyber security space can greatly benefit from the course as it looks at all major Windows mechanisms. Lab exercises are used to reinforce the theoretical material.

Here is a brief description of the Windows Kernel Programming Class Recordings course offered by Pavel Yosifovich : The course is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of Windows kernel programming. It covers topics such as Windows Internals Overview, Device Driver Basics, Kernel Mechanisms, and Miscellaneous Techniques. The course is divided into 9 modules and is approximately 32 hours long. The course materials include PDFs, labs, and solutions to the labs. The course recordings are available for purchase at a cost of 490 USD. If you’re interested in purchasing the course, you can send an email to zodiacon@live.com with the title “Kernel Programming class recordings” ¹. Once you’ve paid, you’ll receive a link to the course recordings along with the course materials. You’ll also receive a 10% discount for the Advanced Windows Kernel Programming class in April, be added to a discord server that will host all the Alumni from my public classes, and have a live session with Pavel sometime in early April where you can ask questions about the class .
