Project Structure

The project is divided as follows:

  • PlatboxDrv: kernel drivers used for Linux and Windows.
  • PlatboxLib: the usermode component that loads the kernel driver and provides access to all the previously listed features.

  • Pocs: an example of a program using features from the libary.
