As many kernel developers and hackers have known for years, loadable/unloadable kernel modules (like user-space applications) are almost never bug-free. With the continuing use and development of ...

Loadable Kernel Modules (LKM) ease that process by providing the facility to integrate with the existing kernel instead of requiring kernel re-compilation. The best way to start is with the sample LKM ...

This repository hosts a highly technical Proof-of-Concept (PoC) for an Advanced Linux Loadable Kernel Module (LKM) Rootkit, developed in C. Its primary goal is to simulate sophisticated persistence ...

Security modules watch the rest of the Linux system for intruders, but if they’re dynamically loadable, qui custodiet ipsos custodes? The ever-contentious Linux Security Modules (LSM) API is being ...

Many useful computer security tool ideas have a common genesis: the cracker world. Tools, like port scanners and password crackers, originally designed to aid black-hats in their attempts to ...

Abstract: In current extensible monolithic operating systems, loadable kernel modules (LKM) have unrestricted access to all portions of kernel memory and I/O space. As a result, kernel-module ...

Abstract: Confidential Virtual Machines (CVMs), such as AMD SEV, offer external protection but lack a privilege hierarchy, making them vulnerable to susceptible loadable kernel modules (LKMs).
