Designing BSD Rootkits: An Introduction to Kernel Hacking

About this episode

"Designing BSD Rootkits" is a tutorial for programmers interested in learning about kernel-mode rootkits. It explains how to write rootkits that maintain root access after gaining access to a computer, using the FreeBSD operating system as a platform. The book focuses on techniques like hooking system calls, manipulating kernel objects directly, and patching kernel memory, while emphasizing the importance of synchronization and security considerations. Although the book teaches offensive techniques, it aims to educate readers on both offensive and defensive strategies, ultimately encouraging readers to explore and experiment with the FreeBSD kernel.
