Linux Rootkits

Do some research on Linux LD_PRELOAD rootkits and specifically the Jynx2 rootkit. There are a lot of really good articles and analysis. Some of them can get very technical, so for those of you who want to dig down in the weeds, go for it! I’m giving plenty of time for this one so that you can take the research as far as you’d like.

After researching this topic, write a report with the following:

Title page
Table of Contents
List of Figures (if necessary)
Introduction – an overview of LD_PRELOAD rootkits (1 page/at least 275 words)
Body – Specific to Jynx2 (minimum 2 pages, maximum 3 pages, approx 1000words)

A section describing hiding techniques
A section describing interaction with the rootkit (connection, transferring files, etc.)
A section explaining detection of the rootkit
Conclusion – how this relates to APT (1 page/at least 275 words)
Glossary – define at least three technical terms
