KDBG (Kernel Debugger/CheatEngine)

The windows kernel debugger consists of two parts, KMOD which is the kernel driver handling ring3 request and KCLI; the command line interface for the driver. It originated due to insufficient useability with CheatEngine's DBVM driver while debugging games running under certain AntiCheat software. The main goal now is to transform KDBG into a fully functional debugger. Note that BSOD's are not uncommon, one should get familiar with them unless you know what you are doing.

Build

Open the VisualStudio solution and build for Debug or Release bitness x64.

Issues/Pull requests

If you find bugs or got improvements or suggestions, create an issue or pull request with a detailed description why/what and how! 0x616c will merge them as soon as he finished dissecting windows.

Install

You can start or stop the driver via tools like kdu.exe which will turn off Driver Signature Enforcement temporarily.
KDU is available here: https://github.com/hfiref0x/KDU

sc.exe create kmod type=kernel binPath="C:\KMOD.sys" // create system service (has to be done only once)
.\kdu.exe -dse 0                                     // disable DSE
sc.exe start/stop kmod                               // start or stop service
.\kdu.exe -dse 6                                     // enable DSE (some AC's require DSE to be enabled)
.\KCLI.exe                                           // issue a variety of commands
