Lab project analyzing Hyper-V kernel crash behavior (CVE-2025-21333) using WinDbg and Windows internals
# CVE-2025-21333 — Educational Reproduction & Analysis
**Status:** Educational lab / learning project (no exploit code).
**Goal:** Reproduce observable crash behavior in a controlled VM, collect crash dumps, and analyze the root cause using WinDbg and static analysis. This repo includes a tiny demo program (for debugging practice), step-by-step lab notes, and a clear analysis template you can fill in.
## What’s in this repo
- `LAB_SETUP.md` — how I set up the lab and safety rules.
- `demo/` — contains the poc code and steps to run it
- `reports/` — the analysis writeup template and crash-dump notes.
## Quick usage guide
1. Create an offline VM (Windows) and take a snapshot. Follow `LAB_SETUP.md` before you do anything.
2. Build the poc inside the VM using the provided script or using Visual Studio (Debug).
3. Run the poc
4. Attach WinDbg or x64dbg, collect a crash dump, and analyze
## Safety & ethics
- This repo is strictly for education and defensive research. No exploitable payloads or attack steps are included.
- Don’t run tests against production systems or other people's machines.
