This is a Linux kernel debugging setup derived from linux-kernel-debuggig.

To get an overview of the available functionality run lkd_run.sh without any arguments.

Dependencies

See linux-kernel-debuggig for a list of dependencies.

Quick start guide: Examples

This project contains some examples to kickstart exploration of some CVEs found in the Linux kernel. To explore an example:

1. git clone https://github.com/vobst/lkd-cve && cd lkd-cve
2. select an example by uncommenting the corresponding PROJECT and COMMIT variables in lkd_run.sh
3. adjust the other variables to your system
4. ./lkd_run.sh setup
5. get a coffee ☕ :)
6. ./lkd_run.sh run debug
7. log in as root with password test
8. ./prepare.sh
9. ./poc
10. in another shell ./lkd_run.sh debug and then ./lkd_run.sh gdb

Scripts

There are some python scripts in lkd_scripts_gdb/lkd/ that aim to enhance the kernel debugging experience. Feel free to check them out and import them into your own scripts.

Other branches

There are probably some other branches that possibly contain features not available on master e.g., scripts for heap functionality. Check them out before implementing something yourself :)
