Use this command to install WinObjEx64:

winget install --id=hfiref0x.WinObjEx64 -e

WinObjEx64 is an advanced utility designed to explore the Windows Object Manager namespace, providing detailed insights into kernel-level objects and their associated properties. It enables users to view object details, edit security information, detect kernel hooks, analyze SSDT (KiServiceTable) and Shadow SSDT (W32pServiceTable), and use driver helpers for memory access or handle management.

Ideal for system administrators, developers, and security professionals who need to analyze and manage low-level Windows objects. WinObjEx64 can be installed via winget.

Windows Object Explorer 64-bit

WinObjEx64 is an advanced utility that lets you explore the Windows Object Manager namespace. For certain object types, you can double-click on it or use the "Properties..." toolbar button to get more information, such as description, attributes, resource usage etc. WinObjEx64 let you view and edit object-related security information if you have required access rights.

Driver support

WinObjEx64 supports two types of driver helpers:

Helper for read-only access to kernel memory:
- Default version uses the Kernel Local Debugging Driver (KLDBGDRV) from WinDbg.
- Requires:
  - Windows booted in debug mode (bcdedit -debug on)
  - WinObjEx64 running with administrator privileges
- Custom helper driver versions do not require Windows debug mode.
- Multiple third-party drivers can be used as helpers, though only the WinDbg-type driver is included by default.
Helper to access object handles:
- WinObjEx64 (any variant) supports Process Explorer driver v1.5.2 for opening processes/threads.
- Enable by running both Process Explorer and WinObjEx64 with administrator privileges.

Note: All driver helpers require WinObjEx64 to run with administrative privileges.
