- EvanAnderson 10y agoMy respect for NT grew tremendously after reading one of the early editions of Mark Russinovich and David Solomon's "Windows Internals". I haven't seen more recent editions but I'd suspect they just as informative. The Wikipedia article on NT architecture is decent enough (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of_Windows_NT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of_Windows_NT), and some quick searching brought up this slide-deck from 2008 that's pretty good too: http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~zwang/files/cop4610/Fall2016/windows.pdf http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~zwang/files/cop4610/Fall2016/windows.... I'm most impressed w/ the kernel object manager and the pluggable user-mode "personalities". I've always dreamed of an NT "distribution" that didn't have Win32 but, instead, shipped with the Interix (aka Service for Unix) POSIX personality.
- bitcrazed 10y agoFor those who are interested, the next version of Windows Internals is available for pre-order from Amazon :) https://www.amazon.com/Windows-Internals-Part-architecture-management/dp/0735684189/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481322597&sr=8-1&keywords=windows+internals https://www.amazon.com/Windows-Internals-Part-architecture-m... Oh, and @EvanAnderson - you might want to take a look at the Windows Sybsystem for Linux (WSL) - which allows you to run unmodified ELF64 Linux binaries directly on Windows: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2016/06/02/learn-more-about-bash-on-ubuntu-on-windows-and-the-windows-subsystem-for-linux/ https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2016/06/02/lear...
