nt_wrapper 
A header only wrapper library around native windows system APIs.
WARNING: the API of version 2 is still unstable
Highlights of currently implemented features
System information:
- Handles enumeration -> ntw::system::handles
- Process enumeration -> ntw::system::processes
- Threads enumeration -> ntw::system::thread_info
- Loaded drivers enumeration -> ntw::system::loaded_drivers
- Memory operations with RAII constructs -> ntw::memory
Object manipulation:
- Process -> ntw::ob::process
- Thread -> ntw::ob::thread
- File -> ntw::ob::file
- Token -> ntw::ob::token
- Registry -> ntw::ob::registry And more
Design goals
- No exceptions - if a function can fail it will return a status code.
- No overhead - every single abstraction is costless and is as fast as it can be.
- Ease of developer use - it is a much more consistent and pleasant to work with compared to win32.
Why?
The main reason to choose this library over existing windows constructs are:
- Speed - even with lazy_importer your code is likely to be faster compared to win32 API.
- Ease of use - the language of choice is c++ and allows you to use modern alternatives to old C.
- Obfuscation - it is a lot harder to reverse engineer an application which uses obfuscated imports or direct syscalls.
