-
-The binaries are signed using the self-signed certificate issued by
-"windows7_drivers".
-The certificate must be stored in the current user's ROOT ("Trusted Root

-The binaries are signed automatically after they are built, but you can also

+Manually
+--------
+
+Navigate to "km/src/" and execute:
+
+    build.exe /cegwZ
+
+This should build every driver, generating the .sys files somewhere in the
+obj*something* directories in the respective drivers' directories.
+They are not signed though.
+
+Automatically
+-------------
+
+I developed a bunch of batch scripts to automatically build, sign and copy the
+.sys files to a predefined directory.
+To use them, execute `setenv.bat` (can be found in this directory).

+Building drivers
+================
+
+The drivers can be built using WDK 8.1.
+
+You can find the Visual Studio 2013 solution & project files required to build
+the drivers in this directory.
+Build the projects as if you were building regular Windows applications.
