Remote Windows Kernel Exploitation - Step Into the Ring 0

Explore remote Windows kernel exploitation techniques in this Black Hat USA 2005 conference talk by Barnaby Jack. Dive into Ring 0 operations, covering topics such as the Colonel exploit, user API interactions, firewall considerations, and exception handling. Learn about memory dump analysis, redirect execution, and clean return methods. Examine the Send vulnerability, kernel heap overflow techniques, and the Colonel Loader. Discover how to predict stack behavior, implement userland shells, and utilize Ring 3 mapping. Witness the Bomberfish demo and explore Colonel keylogging capabilities, including keystroke capture and interrupt vector manipulation. Investigate methods for overriding kernel code and the Interrupt Descriptor Table (IDT). Gain insights into modular structure, ICMP echo handlers, and custom keyboard handlers. Delve into Colonel payloads, real mode operations, and techniques for preventing interruptions. Master the intricacies of remote Windows kernel exploitation to enhance your understanding of system vulnerabilities and protection mechanisms.
