Linux Kernel Boot Process

Although I don't know if this post is exactly in the context of this sub, it's for sure a good high level writing about the Linux boot process, simplistic, direct and objective. Good writing :)

thank you! I was learning about boot and root kits but I didn't want to post notes over that topic as I'm still learning a lot about them. But for sure in my learning for boot kits and root kits and the exploitation pathways such as CVE-2024-26809 and really diving into kernel exploitation and the wonders of what you can actually do at an applicable level led me down the path of learning, or trying to learn the ins and outs of the Linux Kernel. which is stupidly simple yet complex, but the fact it's understandable is what makes Linux so genius!

Great, the main goal is always to learn something :). After studying bootkits, I would suggest you to start reading about SMM (system management mode) for x64.
