HackSys Extreme Vulnerable Driver (HEVD) is an intentionally vulnerable kernel driver for Windows and Linux designed for security researchers to practice kernel-level exploit development. It implements a range of vulnerabilities from simple stack buffer overflows to use-after-free, pool overflows, and race conditions.

Use cases

• learn windows kernel exploit development
• practice exploiting use-after-free vulnerabilities
• train on kernel driver buffer overflows
• study race condition exploitation techniques
• build a lab for kernel privilege escalation research
• teach memory corruption exploitation classes

When to choose

• you want a safe, legal target to learn kernel exploitation
• you need a wide variety of vulnerability classes in one driver
• you are building security training or a home exploit lab

When to avoid

• you need a production or hardened driver
• you want automated vulnerability scanning of real software
• you are not comfortable loading kernel drivers on a test VM
