memory manipulation in kernel-level rootkits
Memory manipulation in kernel-level rootkits refers to the ability of malicious programs to modify or access the computer's system memory at a low-level, specifically within the kernel, which is the core component of the operating system. This manipulation allows rootkits to hide their presence, persist across system reboots, and evade detection by altering crucial data structures or intercepting system calls.
