Abstract
A method to circumvent malicious software via a system configured to bypass a device driver stack and, consequently, also bypass the malicious software that may be adversely affecting the device driver stack by using an alternative stack such as a crash dump I/O stack. The crash dump I/O stack is poorly documented relative to the device driver stack and functions independently from the device driver stack.
