The Goals of This Book
The primary goal of this book is to expose you to rootkits and rootkit writing. By the time you finish this book, you should "theoretically" be able to rewrite the entire operating system, on the fly. You should also understand the theory and practicality behind rootkit detection and removal.
The secondary goal of this book is to provide you with a practical, hands-on look at parts of the FreeBSD kernel, with the extended goal of inspiring you to explore and hack the rest of it on your own. After all, getting your hands dirty is always the best way to learn.
