Hijacking AFS

We have identified several techniques that allow uncontrolled access to files managed by AFS 3.0. One method relies on administrative (or root) access to a user’s workstation. Defending against this sort of attack is very difficult. Another class of attacks comes from promiscuous access to the physical network. Stronger cryptographic protocols, such as those employed by AFS 3.1, obviate this pr...

Process Hijacking

Process checkpointing is a basic mechanism required for providing High Throughput Computing service on distributively owned resources. We present a new process checkpoint and migration technique, called process hijacking, that uses dynamic program re-writing techniques to add checkpointing capability to a running program. Process hijacking makes it possible to checkpoint and migrate proprietary...

Hijacking the Linux Kernel

In this paper, a new method of hijacking the Linux kernel is presented. It is based on analysing the Linux system call handler, where a proper set of instructions is subsequently replaced by a jump to a different function. The ability to change the execution flow in the middle of an existing function represents a unique approach in Linux kernel hacking. The attack is applicable to all kernels f...
