Linux Kernel Hacking

2.0: Loading a Kernel Module from Memory (No Arguments)

Load the example.ko kernel module from memory - without using insmod.

To use:

• Build with make
• Execute as root with sudo ./load
• Check output in kernel buffer with dmesg
• See the module loaded in lsmod | grep example
• Unload with rmmod example
• Check the second output in the kernel buffer with dmesg

NOTE: This assumes that example.ko is in the current directory. If your LKM is named something else, change the first line in the Makefile.
