OSR Seminars on Windows Driver Development

[bullets icon=”0163.png”]

• Writing WDF Drivers I: Core Concepts
  Our most popular seminar. Learn the latest model for developing device and filter drivers for Windows.[space size=”10″]
• Writing WDF Drivers II: Advanced Implementation Techniques
  Picking up from where our WDF seminar ends, this seminar explores the practical side of creating drivers for high performing and more complex uses.[space size=”10″]
• Windows Internals and Software Drivers
  This seminar presents an excellent orientation to the overall architecture of the Windows operating system and teaches how to write “software only” drivers to perform specialized tasks in kernel mode.  This seminar is very popular with security researchers and engineers involved in security and thread analysis/modeling.[space size=”10″]
• Writing Drivers Using the Windows Driver Model (legacy)
  This seminar describes the older, traditional, method of writing Windows drivers. Still useful for developers of certain driver types where WDF is not yet applicable and for file system developers.
