AUGUSTA, Ga. – AvengerCon VIII, Army Cyber’s homegrown hacker convention returned for its eighth iteration, and its first at the Georgia Cyber Innovation & Training Center, February 28 and 29, and day one consisted of training workshops. Intro to Rootkit Development By Clark Wood, Boston Cybernetics Institute This workshop covered what rootkits are, their history, and how to develop and test a rootkit. Students will spend most of their time developing and committing code and responding to manual feedback from the instructor and automated feedback provided by testing infrastructure. We introduce new concepts with live examples and conclude with remarks about how organizations can better develop advanced and reliable CNO capabilities for the Linux kernel. Specific workshop subjects include: surveying open-source rootkits, scanning reports on modern rootkits, hooking syscalls, hiding system artifacts, and network magic packets. Student challenges will be committed using git and automatically checked in an adversarial environment. Requires intermediate knowledge of Linux operating system and C programming language.
