SymStore

This repository contains header files with structures, unions, enums, global variables and functions names from the symbol files for the core Windows operating system components, and tools to help get and compare the files.

Note: Because there is no correct way to get information about nested unnamed structures and unions, some structures and unions are not the exact copy of the original.

How to install tools

Symbols Explorer

1. Download Symbols Explorer.
2. Copy SymExp.exe to a Debugging Tools for Windows folder. For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64.

Symbols Scripts

1. Copy Symbols folder from the Tools folder to "C:\Users\{UserName}\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules".

Diff

1. Install Visual Studio Editor.
2. Copy Diff.bat from the Tools folder to "C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo".

How to compare header files

1. Select two header files.
2. Right click on the first file and then select "Send To->Diff" from the context menu.

How to download symbol and image files

Get-Symbols -FilePath "C:\SymStore\Manifest.txt" -Destination "C:\SymStore\Symbols"

Note: Unfortunately, some symbol and image files are missing from the Microsoft symbol server and some image files are stored with original name and SymChk from Debugging Tools for Windows is not able to download those image files.

How to store image files by version

Add-ImageFile -FilePath "C:\SymStore\Symbols\ntoskrnl.exe\a45bf00aa6f000\ntoskrnl.exe" -Destination "C:\SymStore\Binaries"
Add-ImageFiles -Path "C:\SymStore\Symbols" -Destination "C:\SymStore\Binaries"
Add-ImageFiles -Path "C:\SymStore\Symbols" -Destination "C:\SymStore\Binaries" -Include *.exe
Add-ImageFiles -Path "C:\SymStore\Symbols" -Destination "C:\SymStore\Binaries" -Include hal*.dll

How to get header files

New-HeaderFile -FilePath "C:\SymStore\Binaries\ntoskrnl.exe\10.0.17763.316\x64\ntoskrnl.exe" -Destination "C:\SymStore\Include\ntoskrnl.exe"
New-HeaderFiles -Path "C:\SymStore\Binaries" -Destination "C:\SymStore\Include\ntoskrnl.exe" -Include nt*.exe
New-HeaderFiles -Path "C:\SymStore\Binaries" -Destination "C:\SymStore\Include\ntdll.dll" -Include ntdll.dll
New-HeaderFiles -Path "C:\SymStore\Binaries" -Destination "C:\SymStore\Include\hal.dll" -Include hal*.dll
