More \Device\Afd goodness

For a while now I’ve been playing around with the low-level access to the Windows networking stack that is provided by \Device\Afd. Recently I had a comment from a reader, Matt James, who pointed me in the direction of his work over at https://github.com/Emjayen/napi which does a lot more with the \Device\Afd interface than I have. It’s well worth checking out.

This code includes, as reference, a set of NT Native API headers from the Process Hacker project, which in itself is interesting stuff, but Matt’s code goes far beyond my megre investigations and provides enough information to produce a full featured network API that appears to be able to everything you might need through the \Device\Afd interface.
