      Exploiting Windows Device Drivers
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    Presented here is a whitepaper on exploiting Windows device drivers, with
    a step-by-step explanation on how to exploit the vulnerability and get a
    shellcode running.

    DETAILS

    Introduction:
    Device driver vulnerabilities are increasingly becoming a major threat to
    the security of Windows and other operating systems. It is a relatively
    new area, thus very few technical papers covering this subject are
    available. To the author's knowledge, the first windows device driver
    attack was presented by SEC-LABS team in the "Win32 Device Drivers
    Communication Vulnerabilities" whitepaper.

    This publication presented useful technique of drivers exploitation and
    layed a ground for further research. Second publication surely worth to
    mention is the article by Barnaby Jack, titled "Remote Windows Kernel
    Exploitation Step into the Ring 0".

    Due to lack of technical paper on the discussed subject, Piotr Bania
    decided to share results of his own research. In this paper a device
    driver exploitation technique will be introduced, provide detailed
    description of techniques used and include full exploit code with sample
    vulnerable driver code for tests.

    The reader should be familiar with IA-32 assembly and have previous
    experience with software vulnerability exploitation. Plus, it is highly
    recommended to read the two previously mentioned whitepapers.
