# GetProcAddress implementation - for the Kernel For dynamically calling functions, [`MmGetSystemRoutineAddress`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ddi/wdm/nf-wdm-mmgetsystemroutineaddress) will only work for exports from `NtosKrnl.exe`, but what if you wish to get a pointer to a function of an export driver (a.k.a. kernel DLL)? The following snippet has been tested on Windows 10 version 1507 and upwards. ## Header ```c #pragma once // Structure representing a loaded module typedef struct _SYSTEM_MODULE_INFORMATION_ENTRY { PVOID Unknown1;
