Linux rootkit

Term paper for the Zurich university of applied sciences seminar in network security.

This project is a very basic implementation of a Linux rootkit. Main objectives were:

  • Hiding on the disk (can not be found by ls)
  • Hiding in the process table (can not be found by ps)

Therefore a system_call hijack was written based on Tyler Borland's great tutorial.
