SnakeEngine Driver Wiki

SnakeEngine is a two-part system: a kernel driver (snakedrv) and a userland C++ library (libsnakedrv). It targets Linux 6.1+ on x86_64 and provides privileged memory access, hardware breakpoints, and a stealth-capable manual mapper. This wiki collects build, API, and security guidance.

Loading

Components

• Kernel driver: attach/detach, memory read/write, hardware breakpoints, debug event queue, and stealth VMA unlinking for injected allocations.
• Userland library: typed C/C++ API plus manual ELF mapping/injection helpers.
• Security artifacts: udev rules, AppArmor profile, optional SELinux policy, and a Secure Boot signing helper.

Scope and safety

This project is intended for research and educational use. Only use it on systems you own or have explicit permission to test.
