Project Structure

The project is divided as follows:

• PlatboxDrv: kernel drivers used for Linux and Windows.
• PlatboxLib: the usermode component that loads the kernel driver and provides access to all the previously listed features.
• PlatboxCli: a console client that uses the library.
• Pocs: an example of a program using features from the libary.
