I created a free driver for my Brother printer, available at github.com/pdewacht/brlaser. It's known to work with the Brother DCP-7030 and DCP-7065DN. If anybody tries it, I'd like to hear your feedback, it'd be useful to know which printers work with this driver and which printers don't.

you can try breaking on driver load instead on just the entry:
sxe ld drv.sys
This will stop windbg when the image gets loaded, so you'll be able to set breakpoints using raw addresses if all else fails.

The way CUPS works under the hood is it ends up executing a program (the binary driver) that operates on stdin. This binary must conform to the CUPS backed interface described quite comprehensively: http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/api-filter.html
Everything else provided by the driver is just scripts and meta-data (well, who knows, but the backend ...

Create an empty file, include whatever headers you want, add a DriverEntry and compile with debug symbols enabled and no optimization. Now load the test driver into IDA. If done correctly, All types should be available.
You should be able to export all types via File->Produce File->Dump typeinfo to IDC file... then load the script back File->Script ...

VirtualQueryEx() is the way to go if you want a memory map of a target process.
However, if you want information about modules only, you can extract it from the PEB of the target process.
Get the PEB address using NtQueryInformationProcess, using ProcessBasicInformation for the ProcessInformationClass, so it writes a PROCESS_BASIC_INFORMATION. This ...

VMware exposes a GDB stub specifically for this purpose. Using this stub, one can connect GDB (or any GDB front-end) to manipulate the guest OS, as if it were a process.

The file appears to be a binary-serialized .NET file (similar in concept to a Python pickle or a Java serialized stream), and does not appear to be obfuscated in any way. I manually parsed the first few records using the reference from Microsoft's stream format specification, and the format checks out. The file stores a single object of type "Extron....

You seem to be looking for the drivers' source code: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_src.html

Hum ...
Reverse engineering such a large piece of software will require a lot of will, time, and, of course, technical knowledge.
Honestly, unless you're considering starting a company or providing an open source/free software version of the driver, you'll be practically wasting your time. Especially if it is for a science project.
You must keep in mind ...

patch the Address of Entry Point with a (0xcc aka int 3) and load the driver AddrOfEntryPoint normally points to either DriverEntry or GsDriverEntry
when broken you need to replace 0xcc by original byte and reset eip back by a byte
use eb <address> originalbyte enter
r eip = <addresss>
here is the entry point of beep.sys which points to ...

The allocation for most executive objects (like semaphores) is done inside the ObCreateObject() function. As you can see in ObCreateObject()'s prototype, one of the parameters is ObjectSizeToAllocate.
When a function like NtCreateSemaphore() is called, it calls ObCreateObject() with the size of the kernel object to be created (for example, sizeof(KSEMAPHORE)...

rootkit in kernel operate at the same security level as the operating system itself.
A rootkit can modify data structures in the Windows kernel using a method known as direct kernel object manipulation (DKOM)
This method can be used to hide processes. A kernel mode rootkit can also hook the System Service Descriptor Table (SSDT), or modify the gates between ...

Yes, you would need to patch ci.dll (which contains the list of hardcoded Root CAs) and winload.exe (which validates the integrity of ci.dll).
You can find this discussed in http://www.programdevelop.com/4608016/.

I've written an IDAPython script that searches for a string in the bytes preceding MmGetSystemRoutineAddress and FltGetRoutineAddress calls and then marks that call with the function being imported. It worked on the x64 and x86 drivers I had to hand but I've left my commented out debug prints in just in case.
Here's an example of the disassembly after ...

you can use a python script to find all the IOCTL codes in your binary, here is a script created for the very same purpose :

from idc import *

IDA comments list case values in decimal, so you need to either use 2237134 as decimal in your code, or convert it to hex (i.e. 0x2222CE) first.
Additional issue is that the value 0x2222CE is the full IOCTL code while the CTL_CODE macro accepts a function value (bits 2:12 of the code).
Using Online IOCTL decoder, we can see that the function is 0x8b3.
So ...

I have used /dev/ptmx for that purpose:
Say i want to intercept data written to /dev/somedevice
First i open the master: /dev/ptmx.
Then i allocate a slave by calling ptsname.
Now rename /dev/somedevice to /dev/somedevice.orig
Symlink /dev/somedevice to the pts slave.
open the original device /dev/somedevice.orig
start copying data between the master and ...

Well, your question is a bit broad as it stands, but let's take it one by one. Typically (but not always) drivers for printers these days are user mode drivers (UMDF), which means you're looking for a DLL. If that were not the case you'd be looking for a .sys file of some kind.
Microsoft has come up with a number of "simplified" driver models over the years....

It is possible. Take a minute to read the output from analyze. There's a few fields that will tell you what driver faulted like "FAULTING_MODULE", "IMAGE_NAME", and "MODULE_NAME".
It will give you the state of the registers as well and specifically what instruction that caused the crash so you'll see something like
driver + offset:
addresss: instruction

This is mostly speculative, since Nvidia didn't go into details about the implementation details. All I could find was this quote:
RTX 3060 software drivers are designed to detect specific attributes of the Ethereum cryptocurrency mining algorithm, and limit the hash rate, or cryptocurrency mining efficiency, by around 50 percent.
However following Occam's ...

The problem seems to be in the source address calculation:
&ImportDescriptor.Name + (uintptr_t)ModuleBase
This adds the address of a local variable (which is on the stack) to the image base, so the result is probably some non-existent address.
You should add its value, which is an RVA, to the image base. I.e. something like this:
memcpy(&LibraryName,...

It seems that unidrv does not require any extra DLLs but just a .GPD file.
Looks like you need to analyze the GPD file to figure out how it all works.

.sys extension is usually used for drivers. While they are the same PE executables, they run in kernel mode and thus use kernel-mode APIs exposed by the kernel executive itself (ntoskrnl.exe) or kernel-mode DLLs such as hal.dll.
AFAIR someone made fake DLLs to simulate enough kernel APIs to achieve unpacking of drivers in user-mode debuggers like Olly but I ...

DTD Calculator (http://www.avsforum.com/forum/26-home-theater-computers/947830-custom-resolution-tool-intel-graphics-easier-overscan-correction.html) did the job for me.

There are some possible reasons for that behavior.
As @tmr232 wrote you probably do not see an existing file because it is hidden. In this case enable "show hidden files" option in your file explorer.
The file is created before the use and deleted after it. In this case I'd suggest to use one of 2 options: either try to run a script that always tries to ...
