# [Wintun Network Adapter](https://www.wintun.net/)
### TUN Device Driver for Windows
This is a layer 3 TUN driver for Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10. Originally created for [WireGuard](https://www.wireguard.com/), it is intended to be useful to a wide variety of projects that require layer 3 tunneling devices with implementations primarily in userspace.
## Build Requirements
- [Visual Studio 2019](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/)
- [Windows Driver Kit for Windows 10, version 1903](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/download-the-wdk)
- [WiX Toolset 3.11.1](http://wixtoolset.org/releases/)
## Digital Signing
Digital signing is integral part of the build process. By default, the driver will be test-signed using a certificate that the WDK should automatically generate. To subsequently load the driver, you will need to put your computer into test mode by executing as Administrator `bcdedit /set testsigning on`.
If you possess an EV certificate for kernel mode code signing you should switch TUN driver digital signing from test-signing to production-signing by authoring your `wintun.vcxproj.user` file to look something like this:
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="15.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<PropertyGroup>
<SignMode>ProductionSign</SignMode>
<CrossCertificateFile>$(WDKContentRoot)CrossCertificates\DigiCert_High_Assurance_EV_Root_CA.crt</CrossCertificateFile>
<ProductionCertificate>DF98E075A012ED8C86FBCF14854B8F9555CB3D45</ProductionCertificate>
<TimestampServer>http://timestamp.digicert.com</TimestampServer>
</PropertyGroup>
</Project>
```
Modify the `<CrossCertificateFile>` to contain the full path to the cross-signing certificate of CA that issued your certificate. You should be able to find its `.crt` file in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\CrossCertificates`. Note that the `$(WDKContentRoot)` expands to `C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\`.
If you already have `wintun.vcxproj.user` file, just add the `<PropertyGroup>` section.
## Building from Command Line
Open _Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019_ and use the `msbuild` command:
```
msbuild wintun.proj [/t:<target>]
```
### Targets
- `Build`: Builds the driver release configurations of all supported platforms. This is the default target.
- `Clean`: Deletes all intermediate and output files.
- `Rebuild`: Alias for `Clean` followed by `Build`.
- `SDV`: Runs Static Driver Verifier, which includes a clean driver build, only for AMD64 release configuration.
- `DVL`: Runs the `SDV`, and creates a Driver Verification Log, only for AMD64 release configurations.
- `MSM`: Builds Microsoft Installer Merge Modules in `<output folder>\wintun-<platform>-<version>.msm`. Requires WHQL signed driver.
The driver output folders are:
Platform and Configuration | Folder
-------------------------- | --------------------
x86 Debug | `x86\Debug\wintun`
x86 Release | `x86\Release\wintun`
AMD64 Debug | `amd64\Debug\wintun`
AMD64 Release | `amd64\Release\wintun`
ARM64 Debug | `arm64\Debug\wintun`
ARM64 Release | `arm64\Release\wintun`
Do note that since the `Build` target builds for all supported platforms, you will need to have the toolchains installed for those platforms.
#### Building Microsoft Installer Merge Modules
1. `msbuild wintun.proj /t:DVL;Build`.
2. Perform Windows Hardware Lab Kit tests.
3. Submit submission package to Microsoft.
4. Copy WHQL-signed driver to `x86\Release\whql\` and `amd64\Release\whql\` subfolders.
5. `msbuild wintun.proj /t:MSM`
6. MSM files are placed in `dist` subfolder.
Note: due to the use of SHA256 signatures throughout, Windows 7 users who would like a prompt-less installation generally need to have the [KB2921916 hotfix](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2921916/the-untrusted-publisher-dialog-box-appears-when-you-install-a-driver-i) installed, which can be obtained from these mirrors: [amd64](https://download.wireguard.com/windows-toolchain/distfiles/Windows6.1-KB2921916-x64.msu) and [x86](https://download.wireguard.com/windows-toolchain/distfiles/Windows6.1-KB2921916-x86.msu).
## Usage
After loading the driver and creating a network interface the typical way using [SetupAPI](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/setupapi), open `\\.\Device\WINTUN%d` as Local System, where `%d` is the [LUID](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/ifdef/ns-ifdef-_net_luid_lh) index (`NetLuidIndex` member) of the network device. You may then [`ReadFile`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/fileapi/nf-fileapi-readfile) and [`WriteFile`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/fileapi/nf-fileapi-writefile) bundles of packets of the following format:
```
+------------------------------+
| size_0 |
| 4 bytes, native endian |
+------------------------------+
| |
| padding |
| 12 bytes, all zero |
| |
+------------------------------+
| |
| packet_0 |
| size_0 bytes |
| |
~ ~
| |
+------------------------------+
| padding |
| 16-(size_0&15) bytes, |
| all zero |
+------------------------------+
| size_1 |
| 4 bytes, native endian |
+------------------------------+
| |
| padding |
| 12 bytes, all zero |
| |
+------------------------------+
| |
| packet_1 |
| size_1 bytes |
| |
~ ~
```
Each packet segment should contain a layer 3 IPv4 or IPv6 packet. Up to 15728640 bytes may be read or written during each call to `ReadFile` or `WriteFile`. All calls to `ReadFile` must be called with the same virtual address, for a given handle. This virtual address must reference pages that are writable for the same length as passed to the first call of `ReadFile`.
It is advisable to use [overlapped I/O](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/sync/synchronization-and-overlapped-input-and-output) for this. If using blocking I/O instead, it may be desirable to open separate handles for reading and writing.
