Introduction: Windows kernel security relies heavily on minifilter drivers, which intercept and modify file system operations. When a vulnerability exists within these trusted components, attackers can achieve local privilege escalation or bypass security products. This article analyzes a 251‑page N‑day exploit study covering the full research lifecycle—from binary diffing and reverse engineering to crafting a working proof‑of‑concept. By walking through the same methodology used by professional vulnerability researchers, you will gain hands‑on skills to audit, exploit, and defend against similar Windows kernel flaws.
