- wslh 10y agoYes, that is the reason I made the disclosure. Almost all of our work involves intercepting, modifying, and integrating third party applications with Windows when Windows doesn't provide APIs to do this.
- wglb 10y agoSo are you using undocumented windows APIs or hooks?
- wslh 10y agoIt depends of the work but for example we created APIs for applications that don't have APIs, reversing the code to expose an unexisting API. You can check our open source software at https://github.com/nektra https://github.com/nektra Deviare, Deviare2, and RemoteBridge are some of our engines.
- wglb 10y agoI apologize for asking a bit of a leading question. But I am concerned that changes to undocumented APIs in windows could lead to blue screens upon rollout of updates, no?
- wslh 10y agoBlue screens issues are for drivers but not for user mode applications. In general companies try to avoid doing Windows drivers. The solutions based on drivers are more stable and based on existing frameworks. For example, in the case of companies like Trend Micro they sign a yearly support contract for supporting any OS app update. I can answer any "extreme" public or private (via our website contact) question.
