Bypassing Kernel Self-Protection MechanismsKernel self-protection mechanisms are security features implemented in modern operating systems to prevent and mitigate kernel-level attacks. However, skilled attackers may attempt to bypass these mechanisms to execute malicious code in the kernel.Lab Activity: Bypassing Kernel Self-Protection MechanismsIn this lab activity, we'll demonstrate bypassing ..

Segregation of Kernel Memory from Userspace MemorySegregation of kernel memory from userspace memory is a security feature implemented in modern operating systems, including x86's Supervisor Mode Execution Protection $SMEP$, Supervisor Mode Access Prevention $SMAP$, and ARM's Privileged eXecute Never $PXN$ and Privileged Access Never $PAN$. These features prevent the execution of code from users..

Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization $KASLR$Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization $KASLR$ is a security feature implemented in modern operating systems, including Linux, to mitigate memory-based attacks by randomizing the location of kernel memory.Lab Activity: Demonstrating KASLR ImpactIn this lab activity, we'll demonstrate the impact of KASLR by attempting to exploit a vulnerability ..

Return-to-Direct-Mapped Memory $ret2dir$ AttacksReturn-to-Direct-Mapped Memory $ret2dir$ attacks involve redirecting program execution to a specific location in memory, typically to execute malicious code or escalate privileges.Lab Activity: Return-to-Direct-Mapped Memory $ret2dir$ AttackIn this lab activity, we'll demonstrate a ret2dir attack on a vulnerable C program.Defender Side Code:#includ..

Use-After-Free $UAF$ Vulnerabilities $feat. struct cred, tty_struct$Use-After-Free $UAF$ vulnerabilities occur when a program continues to use a pointer after the memory it points to has been freed, potentially leading to memory corruption or code execution.Lab Activity: Use-After-Free $UAF$ ExploitIn this lab activity, we'll demonstrate a UAF exploit on a vulnerable C program, featuring struct ..

Null Pointer Dereference ExploitsNull pointer dereference exploits occur when a program attempts to access or manipulate memory using a null pointer, resulting in a segmentation fault or allowing an attacker to control program execution.Lab Activity: Null Pointer Dereference ExploitIn this lab activity, we'll demonstrate a simple null pointer dereference exploit on a vulnerable C program.Defende..
