  2. Rootkit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rootkit

    A kernel mode rootkit can also hook the System Service Descriptor Table (SSDT), or modify the gates between user mode and kernel mode, in order to cloak itself. [4] Similarly for the Linux operating system, a rootkit can modify the system call table to subvert kernel functionality.

  3. Direct kernel object manipulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_kernel_object...

    Detecting rootkits is separated into many complex layers that include integrity checking and behavioral detection. By checking the CPU usage, ongoing and outgoing network traffic, or the signatures of drivers, simple anti-virus tools can detect common rootkits. However, this is not the case with a kernel type rootkit.

  4. Salt Typhoon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Typhoon

    Salt Typhoon reportedly employs a Windows kernel-mode rootkit, Demodex (name given by Kaspersky Lab [8]) to gain remote control [9] over their targeted servers. [1] They demonstrate a high level of sophistication and use anti-forensic and anti-analysis techniques to evade detection. [1]

    These routines can be either used to hide the presence of software or to act as a backdoor to allow attackers permanent code execution with kernel privileges. For both reasons, hooking SSDT calls is often used as a technique in both Windows kernel mode rootkits and antivirus software. [1] [2]

  6. The Rootkit Arsenal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rootkit_Arsenal

    Rootkits are notoriously used by the black hat hacking community. A rootkit allows an attacker to subvert a compromised system. This subversion can take place at the application level, as is the case for the early rootkits that replaced a set of common administrative tools, but can be more dangerous when it occurs at the kernel level.

  7. Protection ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_ring

    A host operating system kernel could use instructions with full privilege access (kernel mode), whereas applications running on the guest OS in a virtual machine or container could use the lowest level of privileges in user mode. The virtual machine and guest OS kernel could themselves use an intermediate level of instruction privilege to ...

  9. Alureon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alureon

    In November 2010, the press reported that the rootkit had evolved to the point that it was bypassing the mandatory kernel-mode driver signing requirement of 64-bit editions of Windows 7. It did this by subverting the master boot record, [8] which made it particularly resistant on all systems to detection and removal by anti-virus software.
