Sysinternals source code
 

Hello,

Before MS bought sysinternals, source code was available, do you think source code for XP is still intersting for Windows 10?

Thanks

My guess would be yes, some undocumented APIs might have changed but the code is probably still very interesting...

not really, windows 10 has a lot of changes when compared to xp

most of the code that was available is for tools that have better free/open source replacements these days. but here are some links to the old tools & whatever code was provided:

in fact the official microsoft code samples are quite good as well, you will not find undocumented api info of course but they are quite comprehensive.

Thanks guys for all your replies, gonna dig that!

It's would be interesting in many years, however it's already partially deprecated. I recommend you to read Windows Internals written by Mark Russinovich, father of Sysinternals. The 6th edition describes inner structure and tricks up to Windows 7. The 7th edition planned to cover Windows 8, but release date postponed several times and for now it will also cover Windows 10 and Server 2012 R2
