About This Tool

A collection of links related to Linux kernel security and exploitation

Primary Use Case

This repository serves as a comprehensive reference for security researchers, penetration testers, and red teamers interested in Linux kernel exploitation. It provides curated links to educational materials, exploitation techniques, vulnerability information, and practical tools to aid in learning and conducting kernel-level security assessments.

Key Features

Bimonthly updated curated links on Linux kernel security and exploitation
Comprehensive sections covering books, techniques, vulnerabilities, exploits, and tools
Includes practical resources such as workshops, CTF tasks, and playgrounds for hands-on practice
Aggregates diverse content types: articles, slides, videos, papers, and code repositories
Focus on exploitation techniques, protection bypasses, and defensive strategies
Lists various tools including fuzzers and assorted exploitation utilities
Community-driven with open pull requests and social media update channels

Insights & Recommendations

This repository is a documentation and resource aggregator rather than a standalone executable tool; users should follow individual linked resources for installation and usage of specific tools or exploits. It is recommended to stay updated via the provided social media channels and contribute via pull requests to keep the collection current.

Smart Usage Notes

Leverage this curated resource to build custom kernel exploit chains for red team engagements.Integrate findings into blue team threat hunting playbooks focused on kernel-level anomalies.Use the repository's practice environments to upskill both offensive and defensive teams on kernel exploitation techniques.Combine with fuzzing tools listed to proactively discover zero-days in Linux kernel deployments.Incorporate community-driven updates to stay ahead of emerging kernel exploitation trends and defenses.
