Modern Windows (x64) requires drivers to be digitally signed. For testing, enable "Test Signing Mode" ( bcdedit /set testsigning on ) or use a to manually map the driver into memory. PatchGuard:
Unlike traditional injection that relies on API calls like CreateRemoteThread , kernel-mode injectors often use low-level system hooks and callbacks to remain undetected: kernel dll injector
