In this final chapter of this book, we stepped out of userland binaries and took a general look at what types of ELF binaries are used in the kernel, and how to utilize them with GDB and /proc/kcore
for memory analysis and forensics purposes. We also explained some of the most common Linux kernel rootkit techniques that are used and what methods can be applied to detect them. This small chapter serves only as a primary resource for understanding the fundamentals, but we just listed some excellent resources so that you can continue to expand your knowledge in this area.
