Yusuf Moosa Motara, Barry V. W. Irwin · Kluwer Academic Publishers eBooks · 2006
This paper discusses the problems posed by Trojan horses and unauthorized code, and reviews existing solutions for dealing with them. A technique involving the in-kernel verification of executables is proposed. Its advantages include simplicity, transparency, ease of use and minimal setup time. In addition, the technique has several applications, including assisting with honeypot implementations, incident response and forensic investigations.
