DeepZero is an open-source, Python-based engine that automates the hunt for exploitable Windows kernel drivers by parsing binaries, filtering candidates, and using a language model to assess exploitability. Its bundled pipeline focuses on BYOVD research and has already found multiple verified vulnerabilities in the Snappy Driver Installer corpus. #DeepZero #SnappyDriverInstaller #BYOVD
Keypoints
- DeepZero automates analysis of Windows kernel drivers from a folder of binaries.
- It uses a seven-stage pipeline to filter, decompile, and assess potential vulnerabilities.
- The pipeline targets BYOVD attacks using legitimately signed but flawed drivers.
- DeepZero has found multiple verified vulnerabilities in the Snappy Driver Installer corpus.
- The framework is open source, free on GitHub, and designed to be target-agnostic.
