DSEFix - Defeating x64 Driver Signature Enforcement

We are so happy that most of "rootkit" code inside Turla was inspired by our program and features (this level of awareness is never seen anywhere in ITW malware since Rustock), so we decided to create something inspired by Turla in sort of exchange.

What is Driver Signature Enforcement? It is a security feature added to the NT6 which main purpose is to disallow loading drivers without digital signing, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn653559(v=vs.85).aspx for more info. In reality this is yet another marketing bullshit from MS which ruined many freeware programs, and didn't fixed anything in antimalware field - if malware authors really want to load their driver - they will do this. Mainstream crapware like ssdt hooking trash were dying even without this "improvements" because of PatchGuard which in my opinion much better security feature. And how they implemented this DSE feature. Like many of security features inside MS Windows it is implemented by a single variable flag and casual "IF" statement. The internals of this "security feature" are well described in the web.
