Features:

  • Enumerating loaded kernel modules and segments creation for them.
  • Loading debug symbols for kernel modules.

Based on original vmware_modules.py from Hex Blog article (http://www.hexblog.com/?p=94).

Changes:

  • Changed nt!PsLoadedModuleList finding algo, 'cause using FS segment base for this -- is bad idea (FS not always points to the _KPCR).

  • Added complete support of Windows x64.

  • Fixed bugs in .PDB loading for mdules with the 'non-canonical' image path.

Tested on IDA 6.1 with IDAPython v1.5.2 on Windows XP, Vista, 7 (x32 and x64) as debug targets.
