NimBlackout is an adaptation of the @Blackout project originally developed in C++ by @ZeroMemoryEx, which consists of removing AV/EDRs using the gmer (BYOVD) driver.

The main reason for this project was to understand how BYOVD attacks work, and then to provide a valid PoC developed in Nim.

All credit must goes to the original author @ZeroMemoryEx.
