Building Virtualbox with hardening enabled and signing on Windows host

Post by rickywong »

Hi guys~

I want to build Virtualbox OSE and sign it with my certificate, but I don't have Microsoft driver ev certificate.

Could it be possible to replace with official signed drivers (which are hardened) instead? Will official drivers block my signed build?

Sorry for my poor english but atleast you can understand!

As long as your drivers match the VirtualBox release you should be OK which means you can use the official VirtualBox Windows drivers with your own build.

I'm afraid it's impossible to pack my build with official drivers.
That hardening mechanism inside official driver will verify pe signature and raise exception: VERR_SUP_VP_NOT_SIGNED_WITH_BUILD_CERT
