# API Reference: Analyzing Linux Kernel Rootkits
|
|
|
|
## Volatility3 Linux Plugins
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check syscall table for hooks
|
|
vol -f memory.lime linux.check_syscall.Check_syscall
|
|
|
|
# List loaded kernel modules
|
|
vol -f memory.lime linux.lsmod.Lsmod
|
|
|
|
# Detect hidden kernel modules
|
|
vol -f memory.lime linux.hidden_modules.Hidden_modules
|
|
|
|
# Check IDT for hooks
|
|
vol -f memory.lime linux.check_idt.Check_idt
|
|
|
|
# List processes (detect hidden)
|
|
vol -f memory.lime linux.pslist.PsList
|
|
vol -f memory.lime linux.pstree.PsTree
|
|
|
|
# Check for modified cred structures
|
|
vol -f memory.lime linux.check_creds.Check_creds
|
|
|
|
# Network connections
|
|
vol -f memory.lime linux.sockstat.Sockstat
|
|
|
|
# JSON output
|
|
vol -f memory.lime linux.check_syscall.Check_syscall -r json > syscalls.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Memory Acquisition Tools
|
|
|
|
| Tool | Command | Use Case |
|
|
|------|---------|----------|
|
|
| LiME | `insmod lime.ko "path=/tmp/mem.lime format=lime"` | Linux kernel module |
|
|
| AVML | `avml /tmp/memory.raw` | Azure/cloud instances |
|
|
| /proc/kcore | `dd if=/proc/kcore of=mem.raw` | Quick (partial) dump |
|
|
|
|
## Volatility3 Symbol Tables (ISF)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Generate ISF from running kernel
|
|
vol -f memory.lime banners.Banners
|
|
# Download matching ISF from:
|
|
# https://github.com/volatilityfoundation/volatility3#symbol-tables
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## rkhunter Commands
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Full system scan
|
|
rkhunter --check --skip-keypress --report-warnings-only
|
|
|
|
# Update signatures
|
|
rkhunter --update
|
|
|
|
# Check specific tests
|
|
rkhunter --check --enable rootkits,trojans,os_specific
|
|
|
|
# Output to log file
|
|
rkhunter --check --logfile /var/log/rkhunter.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Known Linux Rootkits Detected
|
|
|
|
| Rootkit | Technique | Volatility Plugin |
|
|
|---------|-----------|-------------------|
|
|
| Diamorphine | Hidden module + syscall hook | check_syscall, hidden_modules |
|
|
| Reptile | Syscall hook + port knocking | check_syscall |
|
|
| KBeast | Syscall hook + /proc hiding | check_syscall, hidden_modules |
|
|
| Adore-ng | VFS hook + hidden files | lsmod, check_syscall |
|
|
| Jynx2 | LD_PRELOAD userspace | pslist (parent check) |
|
|
|
|
## Cross-View Detection
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Compare /proc/modules vs /sys/module
|
|
diff <(cat /proc/modules | awk '{print $1}' | sort) \
|
|
<(ls /sys/module/ | sort)
|
|
|
|
# Check for hidden processes
|
|
diff <(ls /proc/ | grep -E '^[0-9]+$' | sort -n) \
|
|
<(ps -eo pid --no-headers | sort -n)
|
|
```
