Re: proof of concept about services

I guess that I need to climb up out of my drivers every once in a while.

Have you ever noticed that we've never seen Clark Kent and super-services
together at the same time?

Basically a super-service will listen on incoming TCP connections for
you - for instance web server tells services.exe via registry config
"please listen on port 80 and 443 and notify me when incoming data
arrives." That's when you get the IOCTL and the socket passed to you.
But once that happens you are on your own - it is your service's job to
actually call recv()/send() etc. An advantage of super-services is your
service doesn't have to maintain its own listening thread but has
services.exe do it for it, and it's easy for apps on the fly to ask for
ports to be added/removed from a server.

What is a "super service"?

It wears a cape, has a sidekick and usually has an alliterative name
that it uses when in public.
