kernel-level rootkits
Kernel-level rootkits are malicious software that infiltrate the core of an operating system, known as the kernel, enabling unauthorized access and control over the entire system. These rootkits operate at a deep level, concealing themselves and their activities, making them difficult to detect and remove.
