Linux Security Summit

Last year the Kernel Self-Protection Project was kicked off to address gaps in Linux's defensive technologies. With Linux reaching into every corner of modern life, it becomes an ever-increasing target for attackers and much more needs to be done to harden the kernel so it can project itself. A quick overview will be shown of what we're trying to protect Linux against, as well as the state of the art in available technologies. Also presented will be a summary of the last year's participation by many people over a wide range of technologies, with a review of KSPP project attempts, accomplishments, active efforts, and an examination of future projects and goals.
