Multiple vulnerabilities in the Realtek card reader driver. The vulns allow a non-privileged user to write to virtual kernel memory and gain access to physical memory via the DMA controller. Dell, Lenovo and other OEMs affected. The first part of the post: zwclose.github.io/2024/10/14…

Just shipped a WinDbg x64 extension that turns live disassembly into verified pseudocode via LLM — chunked multi-pass analysis, in-process HTTP, mock fallback, and a verification pass that cross-checks LLM output against original analysis facts. github.com/kernullist/windbg…

When it comes to Windows kernel networking, ChatGPT becomes pretty hallucinatious. Once I spent an hour looking for a non-existent !wfp extension, which GPT recommended to me, and now it's suggesting !afd. By the way, these extensions would be very useful if they existed.

Check out the KUSER_SHARED_DATA docs that were submitted to NtDoc by @sixtyvividtails, and are probably the most comprehensive source of information about this struct known to humanity. ntdoc.m417z.com/kuser_shared… Also featured on @pagedout_zine, issue #7, page 33, check it out!

Older WDKs are back! With each update Microsoft dropped pieces like code samples, so I hoarded a few WDKs, and even planned to search far corners of the web to get more. This is not needed anymore: MS just published a collection of legacy WDKs: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/wi…

Today I am releasing a new blog post on VSM "secure calls" the SkBridge project to manually issue them!! This blog talks about how VTL 0 requests the services of VTL 1 and outlines common secure call patterns!!! Blog: connormcgarr.github.io/secur… SkBridge: github.com/connormcgarr/SkBr…

Took a look at this driver too. Damn, MS does nasty things there. They log a lot. They walk stack frames. They lower IRQL!

Kernel Address Sanitizer for Windows drivers is now available, this should make life even more difficult for vulnerability developers. The feature is off by default so far.

Turns out that Dell (and possibly other OEMs) didn’t bother to update their driver packages with the fix for the vulnerabilities in RtsPer.sys. @stuartwalker1 found a link to manual download of the fixed driver from the Microsoft Catalog.
Replying to @zwclose
If anyone else has the same issue, you can download the driver manually here catalog.update.microsoft.com… and install using the device manager update driver function

I implemented a PoC for CVE-2024-30090, which @scwuaptx discovered. The PoC uses an arbitrary increment primitive on nt!SeDebugPrivilege to escalate privileges to SYSTEM. github.com/Dor00tkit/CVE-202… #CVE-2024-30090 #PoC #LPE

This shortcut has to get more publicity.

My favorite IDA shortcut: ctrl-L lets you powerfully search across all func names & var names! Want to find everything related to packets? Search it with Ctrl-L.

This might sound stupid, but HVCI feels a bit like magic. You write a value to protected memory, read the value back, yet the original value remains unchanged in its VTL-1 universe. The raccoon in the meme video conveys this feeling pretty well.

This strange tweet got >25k retweets. The author sounds confident, and he uses lots of hex and jargon. There are red flags though... like what's up with the DEI stuff, and who says "stack trace dump"? Let's take a closer look... 🧵1/n
