Shadow-rs : Harnessing Rust’s Power For Kernel-Level Security Research

shadow-rs is a Windows kernel rootkit written in Rust, demonstrating advanced techniques for kernel manipulation while leveraging Rust’s safety and performance features.

This project is intended for educational and research purposes.

The project also provides useful crates for developing rootkits, such as shadowx, which consolidates core logic and essential techniques.

It includes rootkit-specific tricks, with plans for additional features in future updates.

The documentation on how to execute CLI commands can be found on the Wiki
