On windows I was told it was "impossible to name your process something other then the executables name" so I figured I would go the extra mile and throw in some forward slashes into the name
since you dont see that very often on windows.
# How
# how is this possible
I copy the kernel pml4e's into the usermode part of the pml4. Windows has an amazing infrastructure/API that can be used to do much more then its been allowed. Lets take a look
at ReadProcessMemory. ReadProcessMemory calls NtReadVirtualMemory which then calls MmCopyVirtualMemory. NtReadVirtualMemory does validation checks on addresses supplied from

# how do I use this
Simply obtain the pid of `/proc/kmem` and then you can `OpenProcess` with `PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS`. You will be able to ReadProcessMemory and WriteProcessMemory, you will not
be able to VirtualProtectEx, instead you can walk the paging tables since the self referencing pml4e is in usermode! You can scan for the self referencing pml4e or keep a
reference to the index it is located at. That is up to you!
### address translation
As stated in `how is this possible`, NtReadVirtualMemory is going to ensure that the addresses you are passing land below pml4e 256 (counting from 0 here). In order
to still use windows api, you must call `nasa::kmem_ctx::translate`. `translate` is a static function that simply subtracts the pml4 index by 256 in order to give you the usermode mappings
of the kernel memory which you can then use with ReadProcessMemory/WriteProcessMemory...
```cpp
auto kmem_ctx::translate(std::uintptr_t kva) -> std::uintptr_t
{
virt_addr_t old_addr{ reinterpret_cast<void*>(kva) };
virt_addr_t new_addr{ NULL };
new_addr.pml4_index = old_addr.pml4_index - 255;
new_addr.pdpt_index = old_addr.pdpt_index;
new_addr.pd_index = old_addr.pd_index;
new_addr.pt_index = old_addr.pt_index;
return reinterpret_cast<std::uintptr_t>(new_addr.value);
}
```
