Prevention of driver dropping/loading...

[sowhat-x]

...Until now,I've came across 2 tools that implement something similar...
ie.stopping "in cold" the dropping/loading of drivers from malware executables...
first one I think I had found it via CastleCops' Wiki,not sure about that...
it's called "Samurai",it's released as freeware semi-standalone tool,
and it uses a driver to do it's trick...

Second tool I've found is called "DrvHunter":
it's an open source tool,and once again,it uses a driver to get the work done...
Note though that this tool though is written by some Spanish vxers...

I've only checked the sources included,
haven't bothered analyzing deeper the precompiled executable/driver,meaning...
/me knows it's tedious to repeat such warnings... ;-)
"Do NOT run the executable in the above link unless you...blah-blah...what you're doing."
I repeat it/you've been warned...if you still don't get it,in very simple terms:
driver -> kernel access = system pawned.

Now,you might be wondering...why I post this in the Programming section,
instead say of the Links section...reason is that I am interested,
in any other kind of similar implementation that you might have encountered,
either it be closed-source standalone tools ment for daily use by end-users,
and of course,by far more preferable,
open-source code programs/snippets,using similar techniques...you get the idea...
And to be honest,I got even more curious,
if anyone knows if this could somehow be done successfully,
by using a non-driver based implementation...
