Linux Kernel Internals & Development (LKID)

Instructed by T. Roy

The goal of this course is to enable students to develop and debug loadable kernel modules that extend the functionality of the modern 64-bit version Linux kernel. LKID focuses on the skills of investigating the internals of the Linux kernel and the development and debugging of Linux loadable kernel modules. Students learn how to use built in tools to peer into the internals of the Linux kernel, call Linux kernel programming interfaces and build, test and debug Linux loadable kernel modules.

He has more than 20 years of experience in information security has been involved with Windows internals, development, debugging and security, since the inception of Windows NT in 1992. He has been involved in the development of some of the leading endpoint security solutions such as intrusion prevention, network firewalls, behavioral anti-malware, document security and data leak prevention systems. He has taught all over the world and has received many instructor recognition awards.

I really enjoyed the course! It was interesting to see a different perspective on penetration testing and ways of progressing from recon to initial access to escalating privilege and lateral movement.
