Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Motivated by the goal of hardening operating system kernels against rootkits and related malware, we survey the common interfaces and methods which can be used. to modify (either legitimately or maliciously) the kernel which is run on a commodity desktop computer. We also survey how these interfaces can be restricted or disabled. While we concentrate mainly on Linux, many of the methods for modifying kernel code also exist on other operating systems, some of which are discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
