Naive question: does Linux check checksum of loaded modules? If not I could just replace them and voila?

- fc417fc802 9mo agoWhat would it be checking against? There's no central signing authority the way there is with Windows. (I mean I guess a distro could implement that but then how would I load my own custom modules?) The kernel provides the option to embed a signing key for kernel modules at compile time. But (AFAIK) you'll need to compile your own kernel to go that route.
