fsfilter-rs
A rust library to monitor filesystem and more in windows.
MINIFILTER
See MINIFILTER.md for building the minifilter or just right click install using the .inf
file
provided in releases.
You can also build using EWDK if you don't want to install Visual Studio, SDK and WDK.
NOTE: By default it is built for Windows 10 and above.
NOTE: Enable Loading of Test Signed Drivers by executing Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
in administrative cmd.
RUNNING EXAMPLE
Use cargo run --bin minifilter --release
to run the example application or just run the .exe
provided in
releases as administrator (
for some reason the new default terminal on 2H22 is very, very slow
).
The program starts to print the IOMessage
which is defined like:
We end the process using ctrl + c
in the example video:
PERFORMANCE
The performance of the minifilter doesn't really exceed <1%
of the CPU usage (I never saw it tickle even to 1% while
running scripts to make multiple temporary files). Although depending on you console if you try running
cargo run --bin minifilter --release
you might see spikes reaching 1-3%
but that is because of the console itself (
comment out the writeln!
in the bin example) or try changing consoles (maybe run minifilter.exe
directly).
