slrk - schischi Linux RootKit

The aim of this project is to better understand how Linux works by writing a rootkit.

This is not a functional rootkit, I implemented many different ways of manipulating the kernel (inline hooking, debug registers, IDT/sysenter/syscall hooking, pointer subterfuge…) inside a library. This library is then used to run some tests.

Requirements

The project has been tested with the latest x86_64 version of the Linux kernel (v4.0-rc4).

Running the rootkit

make # build the library slrk.a make tests # build the test module with userland tests insmod ./tests/slrk_tests.ko rmmod slrk_tests
