windiff-version-diff-analysis

Generate and analyze a diff between two Windows versions (or two patch levels of one version) for security research, using the WinDiff CLI in this repo. Use this whenever the user wants to compare Windows builds to find what Microsoft changed between versions — new or removed syscalls, new exported/internal kernel routines, added structures or struct fields, new security mitigation flags (process/thread mitigations, CFG/CET/XFG, Code Integrity / ci.dll, kCET, win32k lockdown), AND any other new security-relevant feature or component: new kernel notification/callback surface (Ps/Ob/Cm callbacks, ETW providers and the EtwTi threat-intel channel, minifilter/altitude hooks), new telemetry, ELAM/AMSI/PPL/anti-tamper changes, and brand-new drivers or modules. Frame findings for three audiences — anti-malware / EDR developers, anti-cheat developers, and vulnerability researchers. Triggers on requests like "diff ntoskrnl between 21H2 and 23H2", "what new syscalls were added in 24H2", "what changed in win32k.sys / ci.
