Rust bindings for the Windows Native API

Windows Native  

The Windows-Native Rust library provides a convenient and safe way to access the native Windows undocumented APIs using the Rust programming language. These APIs are mostly exported from the Process Hacker native API headers (phnt), enabling you to interact with Windows internals in a reliable and efficient manner.

Please note that using undocumented APIs can be risky, as they might change without notice in different Windows versions and can potentially cause system instability. Use this library with caution and ensure you have a good understanding of the implications of using undocumented APIs.

Features

• Access undocumented Windows APIs through Rust.
• Headers sourced mainly from Process Hacker's NT headers.
• Provides a safer interface compared to raw FFI.
• Detailed documentation and examples for each API.
• Easy-to-use functions and types for common Windows tasks.

Installation

Add this library to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
windows-native = "1.0.40"

or run this command

cargo add windows-native

this crate works with windows-rs so you have to install that too.

Usage

use std::{thread, time::Duration};

use windows_native::ntpsapi::{NtResumeProcess, NtSuspendProcess};
use windows::Win32::System::Threading::{OpenProcess, PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS};

let handle = unsafe { OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, false, 69420).unwrap() };
let result = unsafe { NtSuspendProcess(handle) };
println!("Result {:?}", result);
thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(3));
let result = unsafe { NtResumeProcess(handle) };
println!("Result {:?}", result);

Documentation

Detailed documentation for each API and type can be found here.
