Diamorphine
A Linux Kernel Module (LKM) rootkit for hiding processes, granting root privileges, and making files invisible.
What is Diamorphine?
Diamorphine is a Linux Kernel Module (LKM) rootkit that allows users to hide processes, grant root privileges, and conceal files on Linux systems. It operates by intercepting kernel functions to manipulate system behavior, making it a tool for exploring kernel security and rootkit mechanics. The project supports a wide range of Linux kernel versions and architectures, including x86/x86_64 and ARM64.
Security researchers, penetration testers, and developers interested in kernel-level exploits, rootkit development, or Linux security hardening.
Developers choose Diamorphine for its simplicity, compatibility across multiple kernel versions, and practical demonstration of stealth techniques like process hiding and privilege escalation, making it a valuable resource for hands-on security education.
