Abstract

Driver shimming techniques are described. In one or more implementations, an identification is made as to which interfaces and callbacks are utilized by a shim obtained for a driver of a computing device. The identified interfaces and callbacks are wrapped by the shim of the computing device such that calls to the wrapped interfaces and callbacks are intercepted by the shim.
