Hello World Kernel Driver

Welcome to the Hello World Kernel Driver! This is a simple Windows kernel-mode driver that prints "Hello, World!" to the kernel debugger. The project is built using Visual Studio 2022.

🚀 Features

• Basic Windows kernel-mode driver
• Prints "Hello, World!" in the debugger
• Built with Visual Studio 2022

🛠️ Build Instructions

Follow these steps to build the driver in Visual Studio 2022:

1. Install Visual Studio 2022

   • Make sure you have the "Windows Driver Kit (WDK)" installed.

2. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/kaveOO/KERNEL-DRIVER.git
   cd KERNEL-DRIVER

3. Open the project

   • Launch Visual Studio 2022
   • Open the .sln file

4. Set the Configuration

   • Change the build configuration to Release
   • Set the platform to x64 (or your desired target)

5. Build the Driver

   • Press Ctrl + Shift + B or go to Build > Build Solution

Your driver (.sys file) will be generated in the x64/Release directory.

🖥️ Loading the Driver

To load the driver, you will need to:

• Have test signing mode enabled if you're not using a properly signed driver.
• Use sc.exe or a similar tool to load the .sys file into the Windows kernel.

🧐 Debugging

This driver prints messages to the kernel debugger. However, I will not be explaining the debugging setup here since it is extremely long. If you are unfamiliar with kernel debugging, you may need to research WinDbg and other debugging tools.
