Show HN: SindriKit – A C framework applying DI to Windows internals

SindriKit is a C framework that applies dependency injection principles to Windows internals development. It aims to modularize and improve the structure of low-level Windows programming by using DI patterns.

Background

- Dependency Injection (DI) is a software design pattern where objects receive their dependencies from an external source rather than creating them internally. It makes code more modular, testable, and easier to maintain — common in high-level frameworks like Spring (Java) or .NET Core, but rare at the systems-programming level in C. - SindriKit applies DI concepts to Windows kernel internals — meaning it runs in Ring 0, the most privileged CPU ring where the operating system kernel and device drivers execute. Code at this level has full access to hardware and memory; bugs here can crash the entire system. - The project targets Windows internals developers — people writing kernel drivers, rootkits, antivirus engines, or doing low-level security research. By bringing DI to C code for Windows kernel mode, SindriKit aims to reduce boilerplate and coupling in a domain where such abstractions are traditionally absent. - "Show HN" is a tag on Hacker News for users to share their own projects for feedback and discussion.
