Hello RoS developers, I introduce myself. I'm Guillaume Touron, I'm a French engineering student at National School of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics with specialization in information systems and security. Apart from my studies I am interested in OS development, Windows internals and application security (vulnerabilities, reverse engineering, rootkits...). I read a lot about how Windows internals work (kernel data structures...) and Windows security. I have also some experience in NT driver development and kernel debugger (WinDBG).
For many months now, I study RoS source code, and especially ntoskrnl source. This includes object manager, i/o manager, security layer, traps/exceptions management... I checkouted source code and installed RoS build environment and I'm ready to begin development. I also took a look at Se* kernel exported APIs, and tried to understand how security checks were performed. That's why I'm interested in RoS GSoC Idea 'Security Controls'. Indeed, implementing this feature would be a good start to add multiuser experience in RoS which is currently missing, and to manage efficiently users and groups. I think I know what is needed to complete this project successfully and I'm ready to write a detailed presentation/proposal to explain what I understand and what would be my goals. I also did GSoC 2010 last year for Honeynet Project on network security area, but I'm more interested in kernel development. Finally, few questions : What should I do to propose in a formal way my proposal to RoS community ? Is it an obligation to have already send some patches or can we begin development as a new contributor ? Who can I contact to speak about technical details ? Thank you very much. _______________________________________________ Ros-dev mailing list Ros-dev@reactos.org http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev
