On this Giving Tuesday, I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to post my journey getting involved with Linux kernel development.
I’m still on the hunt for new clients to work with, but someone I ran into at the Linux conference in Seattle told me kernel development is in demand, especially in the area of security (and might lead to more, better jobs).
I decided that this would be the excellent opportunity to document how it’s done and encourage others to get involved.
The starting point for contributing is following the directions here: https://kernsec.org/wiki/index.php/Kernel_Self_Protection_Project/Get_Involved
The first step is signing up for the mailing list. The #linux-hardening liberia.chat IRC channel is also available, but after spending hours going around in circles, I discovered registry requires a non-vpn connection. I might head by a WiFi hotspot at some point to do this.
Next I’ll be showing what I do in order to find bugs to squash!
