Accessing Remote Kernel Objects In Windows

Question

Is it possible to access kernel objects on remote computers? I was reading that you could access remote kernel objects by using a symbolic link to \Device\Mup\server\object but I am not sure if that would work. Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

This is not possible in the general case - Mup is the broker that chooses which remote filesystem (WebDav/SMB/NFS) to engage for a particular UNC path. What kernel objects are you trying to access specifically?

Edit: Named pipes are definitely doable - try the syntax:

\\machinename\pipe\nameofpipe

Keep in mind that the pipe has to be ACLed appropriately

Answer 2

I know this is a little odd but I was trying to access a named pipe.
