Is there a way to determine the driver’s custom IOCTL Device Control code’s,
especially in a retail version of a driver?
Are there utilities out there that can already do this? if not, would I have
to create a filter driver perhaps to spy and monitor what IOCTL codes are
used?
Reason im asking this is because we are using a 3ware raid controller, the
configuration of the raid controller is managed via a web interface. I need
to programmatically tell the raid controller to rescan its ports for newly
inserted drives (this is normally done via the web interface) I can only
assume that somewhere along the line an IOCTL code is used to tell the
device driver to scan the ports.
My problem is that I want to find this illusive IOCTL code.

James

I added a flowchart generator to the Compuware TrueCoverage
program (part of DriverStudio) when I worked there. You get a 2D
or a 3D version of the diagram, and it’s jolly simple to see
what’s going on. You don’t need either source code or symbols to
get a meaningful diagram, although it helps. The problem is, of
course, that software is really expensive.

Try WDMSniffer from Compuware. It’s a part of DriverStudio.
Some time ago, there is a free tool - DevFilter. You can get IOCTL_CODE with
it. Now, you need to pay some money to get the newest version.

Are there utilities out there that can already do this? if not, would I

I can only assume that somewhere along the line an IOCTL code is used to
tell the device driver to scan the ports.
My problem is that I want to find this illusive IOCTL code.
