Linux Rootkits Using Advanced eBPF and io_uring Techniques

Cybersecuritynews •Tushar Subhra Dutta • March 6, 2026

Linux rootkits have quietly grown into one of the most dangerous threats facing modern infrastructure. For years, attackers focused primarily on Windows-based systems, but the rise of Linux in cloud environments, container orchestration, IoT, and high-performance computing has shifted that calculus. Today, threat actors are engineering Linux rootkits that exploit cutting-edge kernel features, making them […]
