VoidLink Linux rootkit employs hybrid LKM and eBPF design for evasion.
Summary
VoidLink is a sophisticated Linux rootkit that combines a Loadable Kernel Module (LKM) for syscall hooking and process hiding with a companion eBPF program for enhanced evasion capabilities. The dual-mechanism design allows it to maintain persistence while evading detection through multiple concealment layers, including a covert ICMP command channel for command and control.
