Abstract
The kernel hardening function is necessary in terms of kernel stability to reduce the system error or panic due to the kernel code error that is made by program developer. But, the traditional kernel hardening method is difficult to implement and consuming high cost. The suggested kernel hardening function that makes high availability system by changing the panic() function of inside kernel code guarantees normal system operation by recovering the incorrect address of the kernel stack frame. We experimented the kernel hardening function at the network module of the Linux by forcing panic code and confirmed the proposed design mechanism of kernel hardening is working well by this experiment.
