## What it is
A curated awesome-list of resources for Windows kernel security development, covering kernel drivers, hooking techniques, process injection, rootkits, and anti-rootkit tooling. It aggregates links to tools, papers, and code samples for offensive and defensive Windows systems research.

## Use cases
- learn windows kernel driver development
- find rootkit and bootkit research resources
- study process injection and hooking techniques
- build anti-rootkit or antivirus tooling
- find windows kernel exploitation references
- learn ssdt and inline hooking on windows

## When to choose
- you are researching Windows kernel internals, rootkits, or driver development
- you want a curated index of offensive and defensive Windows security tools
- you are building anti-cheat, antivirus, or anti-rootkit software

## When to avoid
- you need a ready-to-use security product rather than a resource list
- you work on non-Windows platforms
- you need actively maintained, licensed code rather than links

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, reverse-engineering, developer-tools
- domain: security, windows, awesome-lists, reverse-engineering
- platform: windows
- tags: awesome-list, windows-kernel, rootkit, driver-development, hooking, process-injection, shellcode, bootkit, antivirus
