Question

I have a Windows module (driver) that has embedded a big chunk of raw binary data. This makes the module size quite big, thus increases the load time of the driver.
Is it possible to put this binary data into a PE section that gets skipped by the loader when the module is originally loaded, so I explicitly load it later when there is a need for it? The aim is to decrease the loading time of the module. Thank you

Answer 1

You can put data after end of PE image, and then open the file and read it.
