→ View on GitHubrfxn-defense is a Linux defense tool that provides a responsive mitigation layer against local privilege escalation (LPE) vulnerabilities by deploying kernel-level protections as soon as new vulnerabilities are identified. It supports automatic updates every four hours and requires no system reboots to apply mitigations, currently covering seven LPE classes across two families, including various techniques such as `LD_PRELOAD` and `modprobe` interventions. This tool is designed for ease of installation and ongoing security management within environments running Enterprise Linux distributions.
