A fast, simple, secure 64-bit monolithic written in C and assembly. With modern capabilities.
VoidFrame is a 64-bit syscall-less monolithic kernel designed for the x86_64 architecture written in C and assembly (nasm). This kernel was intended and targeted for people who want to learn about operating systems and want to make a piece of their own. As the designer of this kernel, I wanted to make something that is simple, fast, secure and easy to understand. Which obviously means that it is not a perfect kernel. And it breaks all the time. But I have tried my hardest to bring many security features to the kernel. If you were to come across a bug, feel free to open an issue. Fork the repo and make a pull request. It would be amazing if you could contribute to this project!
