This project demonstrates communication with a manually mapped Kernel Driver using WinSock to make a socket server, and a C# User Mode program talking with it using the standard .NET System.Net.Sockets namespace. The aim is to perform various tasks through this interaction.
Whats the point to make the UM in C# compared to C++? This was for a school project to see if it was possible to make it work. I have earlier worked with C++ UM <-> C KM using IOCTL as communication, but wanted to explore other means of communication.
- Communicate with a kernel driver using sockets with a UM in C#
- Perform various tasks through kernel-level operations
- Written in C and C#
- Windows
- Windows SDK, Windows Driver Kit & Spectre Libraries
- Visual Studio 2022
- Some way to manual map the driver, I use kdmapper
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/OssieFromDK/kernel_sockets_csharp.git
- Open the solution file with VS22
- Build the projects to compile the driver and the C# UM
- Map the driver using something like kdmapper
- Open the C# UM App

Big thanks to wbenny for his KSOCKET examples and code, as this was used in this project to make the Socket Server in KM
