Author Joseph Kong's goal is to make you smarter, not to teach you how to write exploits or launch attacks. You'll learn how to maintain root access long after gaining access to a computer and how to hack FreeBSD. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Kongs liberal use of examples assumes no prior kernel-hacking experience but doesn't water down the information. All code is thoroughly described and analyzed, and each chapter contains at least one real-world application. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Included: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The fundamentals of FreeBSD kernel module programming Using call hooking to subvert the FreeBSD kernel Directly manipulating the objects the kernel depends upon for its internal record-keeping Patching kernel code resident in main memory; in other words, altering the kernel's logic while it's still running How to defend against the attacks described \u003cp\u003e Hack the FreeBSD kernel for yourself \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author of \u003ci\u003eDesigning BSD Rootkits\u003c\/i\u003e (No Starch Press), Joseph Kong works on information security, operating system theory, reverse code engineering, and vulnerability assessment.
