direct kernel object manipulation (dkom)
Direct kernel object manipulation (DKOM) refers to a technique used by software developers and hackers to interact directly with the internal data structures and objects within the kernel of an operating system. DKOM bypasses the normal system interfaces and allows direct access and modification of critical system components, potentially enabling unauthorized system changes or malicious activities.
