This article demonstrates how to reverse engineer the Windows 11 kernel to understand undocumented internals behind memory operations and ETW Threat Intelligence events, helping security engineers improve EDR telemetry and detect remote process memory writes.
The article explains how attackers exploit a vulnerable signed driver (BYOVD) to obtain a kernel read/write primitive. It shows how unsafe IOCTL handlers allow manipulating kernel memory and abusing driver functionality for offensive operations.
The article analyzes the Windows kernel driver BEDaisy.sys, used by BattlEye anti-cheat. Through static reverse engineering, it explores driver architecture, APC usage, hardware fingerprinting, import handling, and detection mechanisms used to monitor system activity.
Uses manual Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) to chain existing code fragments and call VirtualAlloc, changing memory permissions to bypass Windows DEP and then execute shellcode in exploited process memory.
CVE-2026-2636 Logic bug in Windows’ CLFS driver: calling ReadFile on a .blf log handle pushes CLFS.sys into an unrecoverable state and triggers an immediate BSoD — local DoS with only user privileges.
The article explains how to set up Windows kernel debugging over a network using WinDBG and a host/target configuration. It covers enabling debug mode, connecting WinDBG to a remote VM, and using kernel debug infrastructure for low-level inspection and manipulation.
