|

This detection rule identifies the usage of kexec, helping to uncover unauthorized kernel replacements and potential
|
||||
compromise of the system's integrity. Kexec is a Linux feature that enables the loading and execution of a different
|
||||
kernel without going through the typical boot process. Malicious actors can abuse kexec to bypass security measures,
|
||||
escalate privileges, establish persistence or hide their activities by loading a malicious kernel, enabling them to
|
||||
tamper with the system's trusted state, allowing e.g. a VM Escape.
