Hi I was wondering if it is possible to emulate keyboard press and mouse click using kernel32.dll ? instead of using user32.dll import.

This is User32.SendInput of win10 x64 in IDA:

It does a direct syscall, if you want, you can do this syscall yourself and don't depend on dlls, however, I didn't see any method in kernel32 to do this.

@A200K in this case he has to update the "mov eax,cost" for each machine because it's not always the same in different OS/Build

so in other words? no way to do keyboard emulation using kernel32?
actually i am working on my c# application to work in kernel mode. and was thinking to use kernel32.dll

you guys got other choice or option? 

Hi

Easiest way is using LoadLibraryA/W, GetProcAddress ...

but I have no idea .Net can run in kernel mode or not !!!

 

Best Regards,

h4sh3m

yep if not in .net c++ maybe? or.. hmmm... got no idea here where to start.

Wtf.

Using user32 or kernel32 won't decide whether you are in kernel mode or not. lol.

C# won't make sense in kernel mode anyways, as you won't be able to access all your user mode apis used by the .net framework. That's why you use C and the windows driver sdk for low-level programming like kernel mode drivers.

 

I guess, if you really want to be in kernel mode, you should learn more about windows kernel driver programming.

i hope he didnt run around school going 'yay im a kernel mode hax0r using c#'...

kernel mode != kernel32 ... sigh..

gotcha. thanks for confirming this. someone told that they are the same. so i should re write my program into C.
any idea or guide regarding kernel driver programming? or atleast a sample project that i can study.

Microsoft released a few driver samples here:

MSDN is your friend as well
