FlipSwitch: a Novel Syscall Hooking Technique

FlipSwitch presents a novel system call hooking technique designed to circumvent Linux kernel security defenses. The research demonstrates a new attack vector in the evolving contest between threat actors and security mechanisms.

Why it matters: Security teams defending Linux systems need to understand this kernel-level attack technique and evaluate whether their detection and prevention controls can identify or block syscall hooking attempts.
