## What it is
KsDumper is a Windows tool that dumps process memory (including protected processes with stripped handles) using a kernel driver, rebuilding PE32/PE64 headers and sections. It was designed for reverse engineering packed or anti-cheat-protected executables.

## Use cases
- dump a process protected by anti-cheat from kernel space
- rebuild PE headers and sections from a dumped process
- inspect game internals for reverse engineering
- dump x86 and x64 process main modules on Windows
- copy process memory without OpenProcess

## When to choose
- you need to dump a process whose handles are stripped by anti-cheat on Windows 10 x64
- you want to learn about Windows kernel and PE file structure
- you are working in a virtual machine for educational reverse engineering

## When to avoid
- you are on Windows 11 - the Capcom driver is patched and this repo is outdated (use KsDumper-11 fork instead)
- you need import table reconstruction - it is not rebuilt
- you need a maintained or stealthy tool - it makes no attempt to hide and may trigger anti-cheat bans
- you are on 32-bit Windows - it requires x64 Windows
