Have you install the kernel headers? It's needed to compile kernel modules like Diamorphine, what distro it is?

[ghost]

Yes, it is kernel headers. I was using Amazon linux to do some pen testing. I was wondering how hackers get these rootkits installed when we need kernel headers that don't seem to be installed by default? Thanks for the help BTW.
