Derping Drivers
GUI tool for special Windows driver tasks and signing settings.

About
I created this program as a sort of "swiss army knife" of driver testing tasks. It can detect various situations where driver seigning requirements by the kernel are altered, like in-place upgrades from an older Windows edition, Test-Signing status and the lesser known (now no longer working) "WHQL Test Mode" 😉
