Need to Learn Windows OS Internals, or How to Write and Debug Drivers or File System Minifilters?
You’ve come to the right place.
For more than fifteen years, OSR has been the preferred provider for device driver, file system, and debugging training within the Windows division at Microsoft. If you’re wondering how to write a device driver for Windows, how to create a file system mini-filter, or how to analyze a Windows crash dump, we have the right seminar for you!
The following are our most popular seminars:
- Windows Internals and Software Drivers (27-31 January 2025)
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. - Writing WDF Drivers I: Core Concepts (10-14 March 2025)
Our most popular seminar. Learn the latest model for developing device and filter drivers for Windows. - Developing Filter Manager Minifilters for Windows (7-11 April 2025)
Filter Manager Minifilters form the core of many antivirus, file backup/replication, hierarchical storage subsystems, and security products. They appear deceptively simple to write. In this seminar, you’ll learn the details of what to do, and what to avoid, in designing and implementing your Minifilter. - Kernel Debugging and Crash Analysis (4-8 November 2024)
Going far beyond teaching you how to use the debugger, this seminar teaches you actual techniques for debugging and analyzing kernel-mode issues. This seminar is popular with driver developers, advanced testers and system administrators, and security researchers.
OSR teaches public and private seminars about Windows driver development, file system development, minifilter development, debugging, crash dump analysis, forensics, and Windows internals. Public seminar presentations are regularly scheduled and hosted online by a live instructor at OSR’s dedicated training facility at our offices in Manchester, NH. Customized, private presentations are also available in a similar format to corporate clients.
