kernel hooking
Kernel hooking is a technique used in computer programming where a program attempts to intercept and modify the behavior of the operating system's kernel, which is the core component responsible for managing and interacting with hardware, software, and other system resources. It is typically done to monitor or control system activity, allow customization, or enable the implementation of desired functionalities in applications.
