YOUR FIRST KERNEL DRIVER (FULL GUIDE)

To try everything Brilliant has to offer-free-for a full 30 days, visit brilliant.org/cazz/. The first 200 of you will get 20% off Brilliant’s annual premium subscription.
In this video we use Visual Studio to code an IOCTL driver for any version of Windows. The driver itself implements a custom way to read/write process memory. Alongside this we program a "user mode" application which can communicate with the driver to send it requests. This combination will effectively bypass most user mode anti-cheats out there.
Fair warning though, this is an introduction to kernel development in the world of game hacking, it does not use advanced techniques and WILL NOT bypass any decent kernel anti-cheats like Battleye or Easy Anti-Cheat. Not to mention the safety (or lack thereof) of kdmapper which has its own detection problems.
This video is meant to introduce someone who is comfortable with internal/external game hacking to the world of kernel development. We set up a virtual machine and I teach you how to debug it as well.
I encourage you to use the times stamps down below and a big shoutout to Madz for the idea 😘

@@timnonik2736 Yes, I am very serious. This is the most common, easiest, most plastered source/PoC of 'bypassing' an anti-virus / anti-cheat in the world. If you don't actually understand how it works, you will achieve and learn nothing. And saying it's "self-written" is a fucking joke. Typing it out on your own doesn't make it self-written.

It made my day

[@zxuiji]

Thanks, I'm planning on writing a driver api wrapper in the future to minimise differences between linux and msw so this was helpful for that future plan. For now though I'll be focusing on a separate more important project for ending the need for compiling *.exe/*.elf/*.dll/*.so directly (in most cases, certain exceptions apply, underlying wrappers can still be used though)

[@alexandrohdez3982]

I do enjoy 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@inqmusician2]

MS devs back in the day didn't call the blue screen "blue screen of death". They call it simply blue screen or a BugCheck. BugCheck(or KeBugCheck) is a function down in the NT API that allows to raise the blue screen in the event that something down in the kernel. I'm here mostly for malware development, because the knowledge between cheat development and malware development is interchangeable. Like creating drivers and making malware that is invisible to the antiviurs or an IDS program. Or bypasssing anticheats, that are behaving like antiviruses themselves. The more you live, the more you learn.

@@DrWasabiii Hey, I was using the preview version while watching this video, but I see that he is also using community. It might be a extension or something.

[@RENNE44]

Could you do a video on either MmMapIo Managing / Usage or creating a loader/mapper tool for the drivers like say using a DSE Bypass to load a driver over NtLoad and then using that driver to map the other driver into kernel space with a pre-defined object and then calling the OEP and starting a thread out of the mapping driver to bypass Ps Module Lists in the NTOSKRNL Structs? I've been studying this and a lot of other people do too so it would be cool.

[@RENNE44]

And maybe using other driver communication methods like encrypted post-server kSockets or HW Paging BP with register spoofing to interpret calls in the kernel using a custom dispatch in the PE of the usermode program? Maybe even try teaching people more about NTOSKRNL, EPROCESS, Ps, PEB/TEB, Etc?
