Abstract

Attackers collect vulnerabilities of a target computer system to intrude into it. And using several attack methods, they acquire root privilege. They steal and alter information in the computer system, or destroy the computer system. So far many intrusion detection systems and firewalls have been developed, but recently attackers go round these systems and intrude into a computer system. In this paper, we propose a security kernel module to prevent attackers having acquired root privilege from doing illegal behaviors. It enhances administrator authentication with additional password, so prevents attackers from doing illegal behaviors such as modification of important files and installation of rootkits. It sends warning mail about attacker´s illegal behaviors to administrators by real time. So using information in the mail, they can establish new security policies.
