GTFO

Nice. Looks a lot cleaner than the Linux kernel.

Not like it's something secret. We're using this (in addition to some Linux distro which hasn't been decided yet) in an OS course this semester. Hopefully it won't be complete shit.

LOL MS finally going somewhat-partially-open-source

If it's a newer version than what's posted here, would you mind posting a copy for us?

>>8
I actually haven't gotten a copy of the version we're working with, but I'll definitely upload it for you guys if it's worth uploading. From what I've been told it's a stripped down and cleaned up version of the XP kernel, minus a lot of the more important mundane parts (device drivers, etc).

I doubt it'll be interesting to many people, lawds.

I'm reading it now, it's fascinating.

I just asked; we've got v1.2 which is the same version as the one in the OP. Happy tinkering :)

One curious thing about this is that it's a hybrid of source code and precompiled executable code.

You can find the bulk of the precompiled stuff in \base\ntos\build\prebuilt\i386\ntoswrk.lib - note that while the most of the other .lib files are just stubs to dlls, this contains actual object code. In fact, the .obj files are lined up inside it quite neatly and can be extracted using various tools.

For example, using IDA Pro you can quite easily analyse this file. This is the list of objects: http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/9399/wrk1ik5.png and this is part of the kernel that frequently checks to see if you're fucking with the license data: http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/5802/wrk2kg8.png - note the code to raise a SYSTEM_LICENSE_VIOLATION (0x9A) bluescreen when it sees foul play.

Of course, you can disassemble the retail kernels in a similar way, but it's nice to have it all laid out here with extra symbols, neatly packed away into objects that correspond directly to the original C/ASM source files. If you're into that sort of thing, anyway.

lol hax

Reverse engineering considered illegal, in most states anyway. Enjoy your party van!

>>14
Fortunately, I don't live in your fascist country and am therefore exempt from its shitty reverse engineering laws.

Silly amerifag.

Haha, daft american faggot.

Bullshit.  Even in the US of A, reverse engineering is well within your rights.

>>21
As long as you're a big fat American corporation with an army of fat greasy lawyers.

>>21
``educational purposes'' ;)

The DMCA does a ton to protect reverse engineering rights.  However, the rest of it is pure seething M$+MAFIAA+tinfoil hat evil evilness.

Hi, is there any chance you could upload the Windows OS Internals Curriculum Resource Kit and ProjectOZ, if you have access to them?

Q: isn't this given by microsoft? http://www.microsoft.com/resources/sharedsource/Licensing/researchkernel.mspx

>>26
Yes, but only to students and faculty of universities that have signed up with its programme.

oh

I suppose their license covers P2P too. Either that or people are pirating their shit.

>>29
Woah woah, slow down there, chief.

People are pirating Microsoft software? Are you serious? Holy shit.

Someone get Bill Gates on the wire, because damn HE GON' BE ALL UP IN THEY SHIT LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER.

I can't get the latest version from their site.
HOW DO I REGISTER

What number is latest version? 1.2 available at link in >>1
