Proactive Security Challenge allows us to compare tens of products and still cover many of the most important features of this kind of software.

BSODhook
BSODhook (aka Kernel hooks probing tool) helps finding improper validation bugs in drivers that implement kernel mode hooks. It consists of two parts, the native SSDT call checker (original BSODhook) and the GDI SSDT call checker (codenamed ShadowHook). The tool calls system services and attempts to produce a system crash (bugcheck), which it catches with its kernel driver and reports validation bug in the tested software.
