LKRG kernel modules are currently available for main Linux distros such as RHEL7, OpenVZ 7, Virtuozzo 7, and Ubuntu 16.04 to latest mainlines. Not a perfect solution ...

You’ll see that some modules depend on other modules and some don’t. There are two ways to load modules: insmod and modprobe. The insmod command simply tries to load a module.

I didn't have to deal with maintaining a kernel patch, recompiling or rebooting; I could develop my tool as a loadable module. I recognized that the general technique behind module exploits could be ...

The latest white paper discusses the issue of Loadable Kernel Modules (LKMs), a method commonly used by Linux developers to circumvent the requirement that modified Linux code be shared with the ...

The ever-contentious Linux Security Modules (LSM) API is being debated once again on linux-kernel, not its removal, which Linus Torvalds came down firmly against, but whether it should allow ...

Different Kernel Architectures The Linux kernel is a monolithic kernel. It’s mainly one large program, but it closely interacts with other, distinct, programs such as drivers and kernel modules.

This approach would allow different security models to work without modifying the main kernel code. Out of this discussion grew the Linux Security Module Project (LSM). A number of developers worked ...

In January 2019, senior kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman fierily defended a Linux kernel commit which disabled exporting certain kernel symbols to non-GPL loadable kernel modules.
