A Rust-based Linux kernel module for rootkit detection was developed during an internship at Thalium to enhance malware detection capabilities in various Linux environments. The article discusses the importance of detecting kernel rootkits and outlines the tools and techniques used for this purpose, including leveraging the Linux kernel's tracing APIs and the limitations of existing malware detection solutions.

Caracal is a Rust-based tool that leverages eBPF techniques to conceal specific target processes and programs from being visible in various system monitoring tools. It requires a Linux-based OS and the installation of specific dependencies like bpf-linker and Rust's nightly toolchain. Caracal is intended for educational purposes and is distributed under the GPLv3 license.

Daniel Almeida's article explores the intricacies of GPU drivers, focusing on the Tyr Rust driver for Linux and its interaction with the Vulkan-based VkCube application. It explains the roles of User Mode Drivers (UMDs) and Kernel Mode Drivers (KMDs), detailing how they manage GPU workloads, memory allocation, and job submission. The piece sets the stage for further discussions on Arm's CSF hardware in subsequent entries of the series.
