This is the source code for the Crystal Anti-Exploit protection product, developed by Peter Winter-Smith (peterwintersmith@gmail.com). This project was developed between 2011 and 2012.

Crystal enables a user to protect 32-bit Windows programs by hooking the underlying operating within userspace and adding additional layers of validation in an attempt to recognise and block malicious code execution. Crystal also provides limited content filtering capabilities via hooks within WinInet.

Documentation on the product and the features it offers may be found in the file CrystalUsersGuide.pdf and within the Help directory.
