quantum-stealth-kernel

Experimental kernel module exploring process cloaking and filesystem obfuscation techniques.

Status: ActiveRepository: github.com/d3f4lt0/quantum-stealth-kernel
01

Purpose

Kernel-level visibility is assumed by most security tools. This project challenges that assumption by exploring methods to hide processes and obfuscate filesystem artifacts from standard enumeration techniques.

The goal is not to build malware, but to understand kernel visibility boundaries well enough to build better detection mechanisms.
