Hi, I'm currently using FindFirstFile, FindNextFile API to recursively iterate through directories for searching files based on a given criteria. I noticed that "dir /s" command gives better performance than my program. I'm tried checking out the events in process monitor and it looks like cmd.exe/dir command is directly querying the di...

I know that OS kernels are made up of drivers, but how does the driver become a part of the os?, does the kernel decompile itself, and then add the driver and recompile itself?, or are the drivers plug-ins for the kernel?, someone told me that for most operating systems, the drivers actually become a part of the kernel, but whenever I co...
Someone told me that for most operating systems, the drivers become a part of the kernel. How does this happen? Does the kernel decompile itself, add the driver, and recompile itself? Or are the drivers plug ins for the kernel? Are drivers even their own separate programs? ...
I'll be working on a project that will work with RFID readers. The target platform for our software is Debian stable (currently 5.0.6). I have investigated the following options so far: Parallax RFID card reader (USB) • Here I'm not quite sure about the Linux support. The manual PDF from that link ("useful links") references this ven...
When handling DeviceIoControl requests in a WDF driver what is the correct way to get the size of the input/output buffer. It seems to be both passed as a parameter: VOID EvtIoDeviceControl(IN WDFQUEUE Queue, IN WDFREQUEST Request, IN size_t OutputBufferLength, IN size_t InputBufferLength, ...
Hi, I am trying to write a visual studio C# .net app which i can put on a subversion repository. The program runs on oracle drivers (Oracle.dataAccess) and should be easily managed and developed by anybody trying to access it. The problem is that Visual Studio finds the Oracle.DataAccess installed on the developer's computer and some ran...
All my driver code currently does this, mostly because I worked with a very senior driver programmer for a couple years who had previously worked on the Windows kernel team for 15 years and he demanded it. I got in the habit of it and never really asked the question "Why?" I know the obvious reasons, such as nonpaged pool is scarce com...

Hey, Today I tried to do a binary diffing of NDIS.sys, and I noticed something weird. I took a function, and began to diff it. The first 30 bytes were the same on the disk(using IDA) and on memory(using WinDbg). Then, something have changed. I saw something like "jmp _imp_XXXXX". the JMP bytes were the same, but the address was different...
How do wireless mice work, as in technically, the RF Receiver you plug in via USB (PnP)? I want to know how I would go about accessing the data section of the receiver and see either the actual code involved in sending information to the OS driver, or see the drivers involved to go about decompilation. ...
