RedEdr ★ 508 56 APPLICATION

RedEdr is a Windows telemetry recorder designed for red teams and malware developers to assess detection surface before hitting a real EDR. It captures events from multiple Windows security layers: ETW (Event Tracing for Windows), ETW-TI (Threat Intelligence), kernel callbacks, and user-mode API hooks via Detours. The system comprises a main orchestrator (RedEdr.exe) that starts all reader subsystems, a kernel driver (RedEdrDriver.sys) for process/thread/image callbacks and KAPC injection, a DLL (RedEdrDll.dll) injected into target processes for ntdll.dll hooking, and a PPL service (RedEdrPplService.exe) that consumes ETW-TI events. An embedded web server (port 8081) serves a REST API and a client-side log viewer for filtering and analyzing captured events. The architecture follows a producer-consumer pattern: events from all sources (ETW, kernel pipe, DLL pipe, PPL pipe) are aggregated into a central EventAggregator, augmented with process and memory context, and then stored for retrieval via the web API. Inter-component communication relies on named pipes with simple ASCII command protocols. The kernel driver also includes an ELAM driver to allow the PPL service to run as a protected process. While the project demonstrates deep Windows internals knowledge and provides a comprehensive telemetry capture system, it has significant maintenance risks: hardcoded paths (C:\RedEdr\), fragile driver build dependencies, minimal unit test coverage, and several commented-out hooks in the injected DLL. The codebase is functional for its intended red-team use case but is not production-grade without substantial hardening.
