(Link) A Guide to Writing Your Own Complete OS

[Daemon]

Found this while browsing teh webz the other day and couldn't find it on the forums, it's an e-book guide in progress on how to make a complete OS and the Author does this in C++ .

Hey this is great I've been hunting around for a very long time for a good paper on building an operating system in C++ .

Big thanks for the share.

Cool thanks, not sure if I want to actually do it but I've been wanting a nice read on OS programming

+1 thank ya

Has EZ ever considered having there own pentest OS?

A few times, but AFAIK most projects didn't get very far...

Definitely would be a large undertaking, but one that might be worth it? If I get enough free time I'll look into starting a Git repo for a custom OS (no promises though)

Amazing find, +1. Might have to find time to do this just to learn someday.

Oh shit lol I forgot about that thread!!

I'd say go big or go home. Make a slim custom os that can easily run on a bb, ras pi, android, etc. Then add tools like aircrack, metasploit, etc.

Maybe make a custom os for techb's hardware project

It looks like a fun practice for the summer Building a text based game or something

Edit:

Or a rootkit preloader

Wow, this is a jewel! I don't have the time to get into this right now, but I would love working on a project like this! Won't leave my room for months

Thanks ,
will be reading this asap - been looking for OS development sources - because of my education project (EvilZone Distro)

Why not something small and simple? Hell, you can do pleny of pentest on an 8bit system, think of the everyday like TV's and bluetooth and stuff.

I am more than sure coding RAM or any memory arangement on an 8bit or fucking even a 16bit system would be a WHOLE lot eaiser than on x86 shit. We already have years and years of global dev on *nix what could we posably do in an OS that BackTrack hasn't already done eh?

But how many Kali equivelents do you see in mcu's? Could be something here, if we arn't talking about something that has been done a billion times already.
