Detect kernel-level rootkits in Linux memory dumps using Volatility3.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Analyzing Linux Kernel Rootkits ## Overview Linux kernel rootkits operate at ring 0, modifying kernel data structures to hide processes, files, network connections, and kernel modules from userspace tools. Detection requires either memory forensics (analyzing physical memory dumps with Volatility3) or cross-view analysis (comparing /proc, /sys, and kernel data structures for inconsistencies). This skill covers using Volatility3 Linux plugins to detect syscall table hooks, hidden kernel modules, and modified function pointers, supplemented by live system scanning with rkhunter and chkrootkit. ## When to Use - When investigating security incidents that require analyzing linux kernel rootkits - When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain - When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type - When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques ## Prerequisites - Volatility3 installed (pip install volatility3) - Linux memory dump (acquired via LiME, AVML, or /proc/kcore) - Volatility3 Linux symbol table (ISF) matching the target kernel version - rkhunter and chkrootkit for live system scanning …

How to install
mdr add andycungkrinx91/konoha/analyzing-linux-kernel-rootkits@sha256:8d5aa9406912fe35The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
