My name is Martin Dráb and I am deeply interesting in lower levels of Windows and its kernel. The beginning of my interest dates back to year 2007 when I bought the Rootkits: Subverting the Windows Kernel book written by Greg Hoglund and James Butler. The book opened a totaly new world to me – the world of rootkits, hooking and kernel drivers. I started to do my own exploration of the kernel, including some attempts to write rootkits and antirootkit tools.
How It All Started
In September 2011, I finished my book named Jádro systému WIndows and describing certain parts of the Windows kernel. Since the book is in Czech, I do not expect anyone of you would know or read it, however, it was sort of a start to my kernel blogging. For nearly four years, I wrote mainly in Czech language and the posts were (and still are) appearing on jadro-windows.cz which is a website dedicated to my book. I planned to create an English variant of the website from 2011. Now, I am finally fulfilling the plan.
This website will never be comparable to jadro-windows.cz one. I plan to post my English stuff here, including articles and tools created by me to ease the life of a kernel developer. It is possible that certain tools published on jadro-windows.cz will make their way here too but I do not plan to translate the whole Czech stuff to English. I definitely wish to write much more English stuff, so a new content should appear here from time to time.
