Linux.Sys.Modinfo

Collects detailed metadata about Linux kernel modules using modinfo. Useful for malicious kernel module hunting.

• Live mode (default) - Parses /proc/modules, then runs modinfo for each loaded module. Default search is /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/**/.ko
• Disk mode - If ModuleTargetGlob is supplied, skips live enumeration and instead uses glob, running modinfo for every matching glob hit. 

Both modes use ModuleNameRegex to filter by name.

    Collects detailed metadata about Linux kernel modules using modinfo. Useful for 
    malicious kernel module hunting.

    - Live mode (default) - Parses /proc/modules, then runs modinfo <name> for each loaded
    module. Default search is /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/**/<name>.ko
    - Disk mode - If ModuleTargetGlob is supplied, skips live
    enumeration and instead uses glob, running modinfo <path> for every matching glob hit. 
    
    Both modes use ModuleNameRegex to filter by name.
parameters:
  - name: ModuleNameRegex
    default: .
  - name: ModuleTargetGlob
    description: Glob to target. If set will bypass live analysis and use glob instead.
