Hidden has been developed like a solution for reverse engineering and researching tasks. This is a windows driver with a usermode interface which is used for hiding specific environment on your windows machine, like installed RCE programs (ex. procmon, wireshark), vm infrastructure (ex. vmware tools) and etc.

• hide registry keys and values
• hide files and directories
• hide processes (experimental, might be not stable)
• protect specific processes
• exclude specific processes from hiding and protection features
• usermode interface (lib and cli) for working with a driver

and so on

Windows Vista and above, x86 and x64

• Visual Studio 2019
• Windows Driver Kit 10

Following guide explains how to make a release win32 build

1. Open Hidden.sln using Visual Studio

3. Open build results folder <ProjectDir>\Release

1. Disable a digital signature enforcement on a test machine (bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING ON) and reboot it
