  2. Kernel Patch Protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_Patch_Protection

    However, because of the design of the Windows kernel, Kernel Patch Protection cannot completely prevent kernel patching. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This has led to criticism that since KPP is an imperfect defense, the problems caused to antivirus vendors outweigh the benefits because authors of malicious software will simply find ways around its defenses.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ntoskrnl

    In Windows XP and earlier, the Windows installation source ships four kernel image files to support uniprocessor systems, symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) systems, CPUs with PAE, and CPUs without PAE. Windows setup decides whether the system is uniprocessor or multiprocessor, then, installs both the PAE and non-PAE variants of the kernel image ...

  6. Kernel panic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_panic

    After recompiling a kernel binary image from source code, a kernel panic while booting the resulting kernel is a common problem if the kernel was not correctly configured, compiled or installed. [8] Add-on hardware or malfunctioning RAM could also be sources of fatal kernel errors during start up, due to incompatibility with the OS or a missing ...

  7. Loadable kernel module - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loadable_kernel_module

    A loadable kernel module (LKM) is an executable library that extends the capabilities of a running kernel, or so-called base kernel, of an operating system. LKMs are typically used to add support for new hardware (as device drivers ) and/or filesystems , or for adding system calls .

  8. Kernel-Mode Driver Framework - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel-Mode_Driver_Framework

    WDM is the driver model used since the advent of Windows 98, whereas KMDF is the driver framework Microsoft advocates and uses for Windows 2000 and beyond. In general, since more features like power management and plug and play are handled by the KMDF framework, a KMDF driver is less complicated and has less code than an equivalent WDM driver.

  9. seccomp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seccomp

    seccomp (short for secure computing [1]) is a computer security facility in the Linux kernel. seccomp allows a process to make a one-way transition into a "secure" state where it cannot make any system calls except exit(), sigreturn(), read() and write() to already-open file descriptors.
