Linux Kernel Exploitation
A guided tour of Linux kernel security. We cover how modern mitigations work, where they have historically fallen short, and how researchers reason about kernel-level vulnerabilities. Every lab ships with a debuggable kernel image and worked examples so you can follow along step by step.
