โšก ZeroSystem: Sovereign Windows Native & Kernel Subsystem

ZeroPlatform Tier License: MIT Dependencies: 0 Platform: Windows Build & Test

ZeroSystem (ZeroSystem.Core) is the sovereign Windows Native, Kernel P/Invoke, DWM Desktop, and OS Internals Subsystem of the ZeroPlatform / Zero Universe ecosystem. It provides type-safe, resource-managed wrappers around low-level Win32, NTDLL, and Kernel APIs with zero external dependencies (100% pure C# BCL).

๐Ÿ“ฆ Key Subsystem Capabilities

Component Description
NativeMethods Centralized, hardened Win32 P/Invoke declarations for Kernel32, User32, Advapi32, Ntdll, Shell32, and DwmApi.
DosDeviceManager High-level MS-DOS device mapping (DefineDosDevice). Mounts VSS Shadow Copies (\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy{N}) to unused drive letters (Z:) and cleanly unmounts them.
ProcessGuard System privileges escalation (SeBackupPrivilege, SeRestorePrivilege, SeProfileSingleProcessPrivilege), safe PID detection, and foreground window querying.
MemoryKernel Deep RAM optimization via undocumented NtSetSystemInformation (PurgeStandbyList = 4, SystemMemoryList = 80) and process working set trimming.
UnsafeFileStreamFactory Opens permissive non-locking file streams (FileShare.ReadWrite \| FileShare.Delete) to inspect locked files without sharing violations.
DesktopWallpaperInjector Interacts with Progman and DWM (0x052C) to spawn the behind-icon WorkerW canvas for Live Wallpapers and HUD overlays.
PowerAndDisplayWatcher Real-time monitoring of AC/Battery power state and detection of active full-screen applications.
ShellRegistryHelper Registers Windows Explorer context menu actions directly into HKCU\Software\Classes without requiring Administrator privileges.

๐Ÿš€ Quick Start

NuGet Package Installation

dotnet add package ZeroSystem.Core

Example 1: Mount VSS Shadow Copy

using ZeroSystem;

if (DosDeviceManager.TryMountDevice(@"\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1", out char driveLetter, out string err))
{
    Console.WriteLine($"VSS mounted at {driveLetter}:");
    // Access historical files via $"{driveLetter}:\\..."
    DosDeviceManager.TryUnmountDevice(driveLetter, null, out _);
}

Example 2: Purge Standby List (RAM Optimization)

using ZeroSystem;

if (ProcessGuard.EnablePrivilege(ProcessGuard.SeProfileSingleProcessPrivilege))
{
    bool success = MemoryKernel.PurgeStandbyList();
    Console.WriteLine($"Standby List Purged: {success}");
}
