Hello,

Thanks

My guess would be yes, some undocumented APIs might have changed but the code is probably still very interesting...

most of the code that was available is for tools that have better free/open source replacements these days. but here are some links to the old tools & whatever code was provided:

http://court.shrock.org/sysinternals/
http://court.shrock.org/sysinternals-bt/
http://web.archive.org/web/20060427210005/www.sysinternals.com/SourceCode.html (also check out the rest of the site)
https://github.com/xcud/sysinternals-source

in fact the official microsoft code samples are quite good as well, you will not find undocumented api info of course but they are quite comprehensive.

https://code.mdsn.microsoft.com (check the "desktop" box to filter out non-windows junk)
https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-driver-samples good kernel reference material here

It's would be interesting in many years, however it's already partially deprecated. I recommend you to read Windows Internals written by Mark Russinovich, father of Sysinternals. The 6th edition describes inner structure and tricks up to Windows 7. The 7th edition planned to cover Windows 8, but release date postponed several times and for now it will also cover Windows 10 and Server 2012 R2

Windows Sysinternals Administrator's Reference describes the usage of sysinternals utilities and some details of their implementation
