Útoky na operační systém Linux v teorii a praxi / Attacks on the Linux Operating System in Theory and Practice

This master's thesis deals with Linux kernel security from the attacker's point of view. It maps methods and techniques of disguising the computing resources used by today's IT pirates. The thesis presents a unique method of attack directed on the system call interface and implemented in the form of two tools (rootkits). The thesis consists of a theoretical and a practical part. Emphasis is placed especially on the practical part, which manifests the presented information in the form of experiments and shows its use in real life. Readers are systematically guided as far as the creation of a unique rootkit, which is capable of infiltrating the Linux kernel by a newly discovered method -- even without support of loadable modules. A part of the thesis focuses on the issue of detecting the discussed attacks and on effective defence against them.
