Possibly you should change your policy and follow their example?! As I already wrote in my article you are already using “tools and tactics used by malicious hackers” as you put it. And this is the actual problem, not MS’ efforts to close down access to the (largely undocumented) kernel.

Well, the disadvantage - that it never gets unloaded - is its biggest advantage too. Let us consider kernel patching, the thing about which Agnitum panicked recently and let us consider 32bit systems which still allow for patching. In an article about the Sony rootkit on the Lavasoft blog I have already explained it in great detail, but let me reiterate some things and quote some of my own words: Why the “Sony Rootkit” is badly implemented … [...] […] So what is the advantage of using export drivers then, you ask?
