Windows Filtering Platform Stream Edit Sample

This sample driver demonstrates replacing a string pattern for a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection using the Windows Filtering Platform (WFP).

Universal Windows Driver Compliant

This sample builds a Universal Windows Driver. It uses only APIs and DDIs that are included in OneCoreUAP.

The sample consists of a kernel-mode Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) callout driver (Stmedit.sys) that can operate in one of the following modes:

• Inline editing where all modification is done within the ClassifyFn callout function.

• Out-of-band editing where all modification is done by a worker thread (the default).

The sample performs inspection for both Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) traffic.

Before experimenting with the sample, add an exception for the InspectionPort to your host firewall.

Automatic deployment

Before you automatically deploy a driver, you must provision the target computer. For instructions, see Provision a computer for driver deployment and testing.

After you have provisioned the target computer, continue with these steps:

1. On the host computer, in Visual Studio, in Solution Explorer, right click package (lower case), and choose Properties. Navigate to Configuration Properties > Driver Install > Deployment.

2. Check Enable deployment, and check Remove previous driver versions before deployment. For Target Computer Name, select the name of a target computer that you provisioned previously. Select Do not install. Click OK.

3. On the Build menu, choose Build Solution.

4. On the target computer, navigate to DriverTest\Drivers, and locate the file stmedit.inf. Right click stmedit.inf, and choose Install.

Manual deployment

Before you manually deploy a driver, you must turn on test signing and install a certificate on the target computer. You also need to copy the DevCon tool to the target computer. For instructions, see Preparing a Computer for Manual Driver Deployment.

After you have prepared the target computer for manual deployment, continue with these steps:

1. Copy all of the files in your driver package to a folder on the target computer (for example, c:\WfpStreamEditSamplePackage).

2. On the target computer, navigate to your driver package folder. Right click stmedit.inf, and choose Install

Create Registry values

• On the target computer, open Regedit, and navigate to this key:

  HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\strmedit\Parameters

You can create and set values for the following registry entries.

• StringToFind (REG_SZ, default = "rainy")

• StringX (REG_SZ, default = "cloudy")

• StringToReplace (REG_SZ, default = "sunny")

• InspectionLocalPort (REG_DWORD, default = 8888)

• InspectionRemotePort (REG_DWORD, default = 0)

  [!NOTE] For this sample, a local or remote port is mandatory. Both cannot be zero.

• InspectioDirection (REG_DWORD, default = 2) Possible values : 2 (inbound + outbound), 0 (FWP_DIRECTION_OUTBOUND), 1 (FWP_DIRECTION_INBOUND)

• MultipleCallouts (REG_DWORD, default = true/1) Controls registration of multiple callouts. Set 0 for false, other for TRUE

• BusyThreshold (REG_DWORD, default = 16KB) BusyThreshold value is in KBs (e.g. a value of 5 means 5KB)

Start the stmedit service

On the target computer, open a Command Prompt window as Administrator, and enter net start stmedit. (To stop the driver, enter net stop stmedit.)
