Ill bcome crazy with damn driver!

[DaGoN]

Why when i change a bit in this driver (w_w.ramdisk.tk) it doesnt start anymore?
1) driver is not signature
2) i've removed the installer (i deleted ramdisk.dll(<-- no crc check inside) from system32 and installer registry keys). Driver run.

this is driver entry method:

NTSTATUS DriverEntry(IN PDRIVER_OBJECT DriverObject,
IN PUNICODE_STRING RegistryPath)
{

push ebp
INIT:00018501 mov ebp, esp
INIT:00018503 push esi
INIT:00018504 mov esi, [ebp+arg_0]
INIT:00018507 lea eax, [ebp+arg_0]
INIT:0001850A push eax
INIT:0001850B push 10h
INIT:0001850D push offset start
INIT:00018512 push esi
INIT:00018513 call ds:IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension
INIT:00018519 test eax, eax
INIT:0001851B jl loc_185DA
INIT:00018521 mov ecx, [ebp+arg_0]
INIT:00018524 push edi
INIT:00018525 mov edi, [ebp+arg_4]
INIT:00018528 mov ax, [edi]
INIT:0001852B mov [ecx], ax
INIT:0001852E mov ax, [edi+2]
...
...
return
}

bp on IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension and sice break fine.
Now the things go bad:
When i change only one char in driver ramdisk.sys it doesnt run anymore(!?!?) and softice doesnt break anymore in driver entry point! Why?
There is any security check in windows kernel?
it seems that the system doesnt start it anymore because its changed...

Thx in adv,

just a hunch...

make sure you've unloaded the previous instance of ramdisk.sys before starting up the new one. windows may be preventing the loading of another ramdisk.sys because one is already in place.

Yes, i stop the service, after i load it in winhex and i change a char and save it, i restart the service and the service doesnt start anymore...
Stop again the service, undo in winhex and save it, i restart the service and it works!
I've try it with differents xp machines...

Hi,

Use LordPE to recalculate the CheckSum.
