A hacker can buy an MS code signing key, some owners might want to further restrict the drivers allowed to run their computer, yet weвЂ™re not allowed to load a more restrictive & trustworthy CA.Д«ack when this all began and I was personally developing windows drivers, a tool was released and legitimately signed no less to allow owners to control their own chain of trust, yet every time the tool was released, windows update disabled the tool once again revoking owner control.

A far better solution would be to allow owners to set their own certificates in their own kernel.ДЄlso, just because a driver has been signed under an MS approved CA chain doesnвЂ™t mean itвЂ™s safe. Just because I want to run my own driver doesnвЂ™t mean I want to allow all unsigned drivers, this is really pathetic on microsoftвЂ™s part. Then there are the security implications. For starters youвЂ™ll be punished for using test mode: There are a couple serious issues with it. For everyone else there shouldnвЂ™t be a reason to ever be able to do that For those few people that would need/want this it isnвЂ™t a big burden to say вЂњokay, I am going to trust a major component on my system to be unverifiedвЂќ by running 1 simple command as an admin. In principle the FSD does not differentiate between PagingIo that is originated through the Cc or a memory mapped file. Memory mapped I/O in Windows is simply I/O that is marked as PagingIo. At this point the FSD is supposed to go to its real storage (the disk, the network, the user mode file system) and try to satisfy that request.

Now if that memory is not present it will page fault and the memory manager (MM) will eventually send a recursive read to the FSD and mark it as вЂњPagingIoвЂќ. This will be routed to the NT cache manager (Cc), which will try to satisfy it by doing a straight memory copy from the CcвЂ™s memory into the calling process address space. Let us assume that the FSD receives a cached read request. I do not know the details of how FUSE implements memory mapped I/O on Linux or OSX, but here is a very simplified overview of how it is done by Windows FSDвЂ™s and WinFsp.Д«roadly speaking there are two kinds of read/write requests in Windows: cached requests and non-cached requests. To clarify WinFsp implements FUSE as a compatibility layer over its own API. Prior to developing WinFsp I had not done any Windows work in a long time.ДЇor me this falls into the unpaid work category, I guess it might for you too. I looked at some solutions including using WebDAV and SMB and found them wanting. The reason I developed WinFsp was because I wanted to port a FUSE file system which runs on Linux and OSX to Windows. Is there some kind of block caching/syncing policy to make memory mapped IO work? It makes me curious how FUSE handles memory mapped IO. The FS driver I wrote back in the day could handle I/O requests but didnвЂ™t implement memory mapped IO blocks, which as I recall was required by notepad. So itвЂ™s exciting but IвЂ™m not sure when IвЂ™ll get to it, for me this falls into the unpaid work category, I guess it might for you too. IвЂ™ve seen others emulating SMB, but what a headacheДЇuse for windows would be perfect, really. Authentication works differently on certain windows editions, some hardcode port 80, which may be used by another service, etc. IвЂ™ve tried using MicrosoftвЂ™s native WebDAV support, which has the benefit of being fairly trivial and would have worked fine except IвЂ™ve found windows support for it to be infuriatingly inconsistent and buggy between windows versions. IвЂ™m developing a backup system but itвЂ™s just a standalone app and IвЂ™d like for it to be integrated as a native FS. If you decide to ahead and have questions I will be happy to try to answer them at this google group: HereвЂ™s a link for those who donвЂ™t know what SEH is: вЂ¦Д®xcellent. So it was necessary to handle this myself although I think there may be mingw builds that support it nowвЂ¦ The caveat I had at the time was mingw didnвЂ™t natively support the Structured Exception Handling used by microsoft in the kernel. These days IвЂ™d even be interested in getting Rust to work, that is if I were still doing it. Once you get the build options sorted for creating the necessary imports/exports, it works well. Can mingw be used to create drivers? That is definitely interesting.
