The operating system kernel is the final goal for every great exploit chain. You can look at the entries in the Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) Pwn2Own contests over the years to see that process at work. The Windows kernel has been subject to many points of attack. One of my favourites is abuse of DeviceIoControl calls to various drivers since this allows access to so many drivers written by so many vendors, many of which are not all that well-written or tested.
Over the years, most of the attacks to penetrate into the Windows kernel have gone through win32k.sys -- a kernel-mode device driver that controls the Windows graphic and window management system. When
