Embodiment Construction

[0031] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Such as figure 1As shown, an operating system kernel integrity protection system provided by the present invention includes components including an integrity protection program IPS, a kernel hook, a jump code, a target system Target OS, and a monitoring protector. When it is necessary to implement integrity monitoring and protection for the operating system kernel, the integrity protection program IPS is loaded into the Target OS address space of the target operating system through a kernel module, configures the monitoring protection environment, and registers with the monitoring protector , to build an isolated and protected operating environment. The integrity protection program IPS itself encapsulates the relevant codes for integrity checking and protection of the Target OS kernel, as well as the data segments and work stacks required at runtime, forming a ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for protecting integrity of a kernel of an operating system. An operating system kernel integrity protecting system comprises integrity protection software (IPS), a kernel hook, skip codes, a target operating system (Target OS) and a monitor protector. The method comprises the following steps: (1) starting up and initializing the monitor protector; after initializing is completed, waiting for request operation of the IPS; (2) logging in the IPS and setting a monitoring and protecting environment; (3) monitoring and protecting the integrity of the kernel of the Target OS; when a hook, arranged in the kernel, of the IPS is triggered, checking the integrity of the kernel of the Target OS, protecting a kernel event from occurring, and then, switching into the IPS for corresponding processing; (4) logging off the IPS and clearing the monitoring and protecting environment; clearing the monitoring and protecting environment established in the step (2), and recovering the normal operation of the Target OS.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the safety protection of the operating system, in particular to a method for monitoring and protecting the integrity of the operating system kernel. Background technique [0002] The kernel code of the operating system has a large scale and complex structure, and in order to ensure the operating efficiency of the system, it is usually written in an unsafe programming language, so there are a large number of loopholes and errors in it. Attackers can use these vulnerabilities to attack the kernel, modify the key state of the kernel, and execute arbitrary malicious codes. Therefore, the operating system kernel is facing very serious security problems. Monitoring and protecting the integrity of the operating system kernel can effectively improve its security. [0003] The integrity protection of the existing operating system kernel mostly adopts the mechanism of the virtual machine monitor VMM. These VMMs must provide virtualizati...
