KR^X - Comprehensive Kernel Protection Against Just-In-Time Code Reuse

KR^X - Comprehensive Kernel Protection Against Just-In-Time Code Reuse

Explore a comprehensive 40-minute Black Hat conference talk on kernel protection against just-in-time code reuse attacks. Delve into the challenges posed by memory corruption and disclosure vulnerabilities in kernel code, and learn about the increasing reliance on code reuse techniques by attackers as stricter memory isolation mechanisms become more prevalent. Discover how kR^X offers a robust solution for preventing privilege escalation attacks in kernel environments. Gain insights from speaker Marios Pomonis on cutting-edge kernel hardening techniques and their implementation.
