ZeroSystem.Core 1.4.0

⚡ ZeroSystem: Sovereign Windows Native & Kernel Subsystem

ZeroSystem (ZeroSystem.Core) is the sovereign Windows Native, Kernel P/Invoke, DWM Desktop, and OS Internals Subsystem of the ZeroPlatform / Zero Universe ecosystem. It provides type-safe, resource-managed wrappers around low-level Win32, NTDLL, and Kernel APIs with zero external dependencies (100% pure C# BCL).

📦 Key Subsystem Capabilities

🚀 Quick Start

NuGet Package Installation

dotnet add package ZeroSystem.Core

Example 1: Mount VSS Shadow Copy

using ZeroSystem;

if (DosDeviceManager.TryMountDevice(@"\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1", out char driveLetter, out string err))
{
    Console.WriteLine($"VSS mounted at {driveLetter}:");
    // Access historical files via $"{driveLetter}:\\..."
    DosDeviceManager.TryUnmountDevice(driveLetter, null, out _);
}

Example 2: Purge Standby List (RAM Optimization)

using ZeroSystem;

if (ProcessGuard.TryEnablePrivilege(NativeMethods.SE_PROFILE_SINGLE_PROCESS_NAME))
{
    bool success = MemoryKernel.PurgeStandbyList();
    Console.WriteLine($"Standby List Purged: {success}");
}

Example 3: Detect Locking Processes (Restart Manager)

using ZeroSystem;

var lockers = FileLockManager.GetLockingProcesses(@"C:\Program Files\App\locked.dll");
foreach (var proc in lockers)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Locked by PID {proc.ProcessId}: {proc.ProcessName} ({proc.ApplicationType})");
}

Example 4: Sub-Millisecond Hardware UUID (Zero-WMI SMBIOS)

using ZeroSystem;

string uuid = SmbiosReader.GetSystemUuid();
string boardSerial = SmbiosReader.GetMotherboardSerial();
Console.WriteLine($"Hardware Fingerprint: UUID={uuid}, Motherboard={boardSerial}");

Example 5: Single-Instance Mutex & Window Activation

using ZeroSystem;

if (!AppInstanceManager.TryAcquireSingleInstance("ZeroUniverse.ZProbe", out var appLock))
{
    Console.WriteLine("Another instance is already running. Activating existing window...");
    AppInstanceManager.BringProcessToForeground(Process.GetProcessesByName("ZProbe")[0].Id);
    return;
}

using (appLock)
{
    // Run main application loop
}

Example 6: Ultra-Fast Process Snapshot & Parent PID

using ZeroSystem;

var processes = NtProcessKernel.GetProcessListFast(); // Executes in 1-2ms (<50x faster than Process.GetProcesses())
foreach (var proc in processes)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"PID {proc.ProcessId} (Parent: {proc.ParentProcessId}) - {proc.ProcessName} [Threads: {proc.ThreadCount}]");
}

Example 7: SSD vs HDD Seek Penalty & NVMe Bus Type

using ZeroSystem;

bool isC_Ssd = StorageHardwareKernel.IsSolidStateDrive('C');
var disk0 = StorageHardwareKernel.GetPhysicalDiskInfo(0);

Console.WriteLine($"Drive C is SSD: {isC_Ssd}");
Console.WriteLine($"Disk 0: {disk0.Model}, Bus: {disk0.BusType}, Size: {disk0.TotalSizeBytes / (1024*1024*1024)} GB");

Example 8: Find Process Owning Network Port (IP Helper)

using ZeroSystem;

// Find which application is listening on port 6310 (IPP) or 9200
int? pid = NetworkConnectionTracker.FindProcessOwningTcpPort(6310);
if (pid.HasValue)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Port 6310 is owned by PID: {pid.Value}");
}

Example 9: CPU Core Pinning & Multimedia Real-Time Priority

using ZeroSystem;

// Pin current thread to CPU Core 0 to eliminate cache thrashing
ThreadAffinityKernel.SetCurrentThreadAffinity(0);
ThreadAffinityKernel.SetCurrentThreadPriority(ThreadPriorityLevel.TimeCritical);

// Enable Windows MMCSS Pro Audio scheduling slice
using (ThreadAffinityKernel.EnableMultimediaScheduling("Pro Audio"))
{
    // Real-time vision inspection / DSP audio loop
}
