SilentLoad : Stealth Driver Loading For Secure Engagements

SilentLoad is a powerful exploitation tool designed to load drivers stealthily by directly setting up service registry keys via NtLoadDriver.

This method minimizes detection risks, making it ideal for BYOVD (Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver) scenarios where traditional service creation triggers alerts.

 #define DRIVER_PATH L"\\??\\C:\\Windows\\System32\\drivers\\SilentLoad.sys"
