Warning

We built the project and uploaded it so you can find it in the releases.
One problem is that the binary will trigger alerts from Windows Defender because it uses the NtObjerManager package which is flagged as a virus.
Note that James Forshaw talked about it here.
We can’t change it because we depend on third-party DLL.
