Analyze Windows driver trust, callbacks, IRQL, kernel memory, DSE, PatchGuard, VBS/HVCI, ETW, crash evidence, and build-specific internals for authorized game-security research.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Windows kernel security

Match undocumented structures, offsets, globals, and allocator behavior to the exact Windows build and symbols. Separate documented contracts, observed state, and inference.

## Topic routing

- [Foundations and security](references/foundations-and-security.md) for driver surfaces, symbols, PatchGuard, DSE, VBS/HVCI, and Secure Boot.
- [Drivers and observation](references/drivers-and-observation.md) for callbacks, IRQL, APCs, driver structure, hooking, and ETW.
- [Memory and forensics](references/memory-and-forensics.md) for pool architecture, memory access, dumps, and tools.
- [Threats and virtualization](references/threats-and-virtualization.md) for vulnerable drivers, boot threats, PatchGuard research, and hypervisor defenses.
- [Repository resources](references/repository-resources.md) and [repository map](references/repository-map.md) for source selection.

Use `dma-attack-techniques` for device-originated memory access and `game-security-research-rigor` for version-sensitive conclusions.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gmh5225/awesome-game-security/windows-kernel-security@sha256:a4bf6be3cd71f8f5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260913.ae72a69, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
