Unmasking the Silent Intruder: A Deep Dive into Stealthy Linux Rootkits and System Hardening
Introduction: The threat landscape is continuously evolving, with adversaries employing increasingly sophisticated techniques to maintain persistent, undetected access to compromised systems. Rootkits, particularly those targeting the Linux kernel, represent a pinnacle of this stealthy tradecraft, allowing attackers to hide processes, files, and network connections from standard system administration tools. Understanding their operation is no longer a niche skill but a core competency for defenders tasked with protecting critical infrastructure.

Something I learned a while ago about Linux is the reason you don't see a lot of proprietary software supporting it isn't because Linux is janky or difficult to code for.
In fact it's quite the opposite. It's too easy. So easy that it'll be trivial to crack their DRM and rootkits
Think about that

I just stopped playing games with anticheat. We gamers should have taken a hard stance on that long ago.
I did similar with physical media when Sony was installing rootkits with CDs (xcp).
On autostart iirc.

quero muito ter no apto um homelab com um server onde minhas amigas possam se conectar via terminal e deixar lembranças e artefatos virtuais legais (e hopefully não deixar spywares e rootkits)

I know I'm just one person, but if a game was going to have multiplayer, I would prefer a gentleman's agreement among friends to not cheat, instead of implementing one of those nasty rootkits that detects and bans people for it...

I am reaching the conclusion that PvE and PvP cannot co-exist in the same online video game (even with an *offline* PvE mode!), because too many people ignorantly clamor for rootkits.
No more video games with any kind of online PvP component for me.

It doesn't necessarily require you do that, but I've never seen it implemented in my circles in another way.
Most companies install literal US-controlled rootkits on employee devices to be compliant these days.

You could use the OST1 Rootkits class (opensecuritytraining.info/Rootkits.html) as a starting template, since that's the whole point of making the materials under CC licenses. Xeno Kovah isn't planning on updating it as he's off in Bluetooth world now.
