Kernel Exploitation
Kernel exploitation is a method used in computer hacking that involves exploiting vulnerabilities in the operating system’s kernel, which is the core component that controls access to the computer’s hardware and software resources.
Hackers use various techniques to identify and exploit these vulnerabilities, which can allow them to gain privileged access to the system and carry out malicious activities such as stealing data, installing malware, or taking control of the system.
Kernel exploitation requires a deep understanding of the operating system’s inner workings and the ability to find and exploit vulnerabilities in the kernel code. It is a complex and highly technical process that requires advanced knowledge and skills in computer programming and security.
To prevent kernel exploitation, it is important to regularly update and patch operating systems to address known vulnerabilities, use strong passwords and multi-factor authentication, and install security software to detect and block malicious activities.
