Loading Drivers

Throughout this chapter, we have assumed that the malware being analyzed includes a user-space component to load it. If you have a malicious driver, but no user-space application to install it, you can load the driver using a loader such as the OSR Driver Loader tool, as shown in Figure 10-4. This driver loader is very easy to use, and it’s free, but it requires registration. Once you have OSR Driver Loader installed, simply run the driver loader and specify the driver to load, and then click Register Service and Start Service to start the driver.
