Abstract

This bachelor thesis focuses on the Linux kernel security from the attacker perspective. It tries to identify and map all key features and methods used by nowadays cyber-terrorists. One of its aims is to give a comprehensive overview of this topic. At final, it can serve as a small reference for everybody who wants to broaden his knowledge of Linux kernel security. The work consists of four parts. The first part repeats and defines basic notions and taxonomy of operation systems. The second and third part form the core. They cover principles and methods used to hide processes, files, connections, etc. The last chaper is devoted to related issues. A supplement of this bachelor thesis is a set of demonstrating modules, which implement discussed problems involved, and tables, where can be found a comparison of nowadays rootkits.
