Ok. Good.
So kernels are code. I understand.
Are there examples of malicious software (trojans, spyware, viruses etc) being baked into kernels in a dormant manner so they remain undetected for a length of time before activating in a device?
Can you give me some examples of kernels hosting other code than what they are built to do?
