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.

SilentLoad does not drop the driver itself, allowing users to maintain control over deployment. Its lightweight design and focus on registry-level interactions make it a crucial asset for penetration testers and cybersecurity professionals.

Loads a drivers through NtLoadDriver by setting up the service registry key directly. To be used in engagement for BYOVD, where service creation creates an alert.

Usage

SilentLoad doesn’t drop the driver for you. Refer to the following to lines:

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