Abstract
A hooking control manager hooks kernel level operations. The kernel level hooking control manager identifies a kernel level component for which to filter outgoing kernel level system calls. For each of a select set of outgoing kernel level system calls imported by the kernel level component, the kernel level hooking control manager locates the address of the system call in the kernel level component, stores the address, and patches the kernel level component with an address of alternative code to execute when the kernel level component makes the outgoing system call. Upon the unloading of the kernel level hooking control manager, for each call of the select set, the kernel level hooking control manager locates the address of the system call in the kernel level component, and patches the kernel level component so as to restore the stored address.
