[kernel-hardening] Interested in Helping KSPP

[Ian Kronquist]

Hello,
My name is Ian Kronquist, I'm a long time Linux user interested in
helping improve kernel security. I have submitted a patch to the
kernel before, long story short, it was rejected as too niche.

I'm wondering if there are any small to medium size projects I can help with?
Are the Specific TODO Items on the wiki up to date? If so, are there
any in particular you would recommend looking at?

Thanks,
Ian Kronquist

Hi! Welcome to the list! (Out of curiosity, what was the patch?)

The TODO list is roughly up to date for things that I've been
tracking. For things beyond just "self-protection" work, there is also
a set of TODO items at the linux-hardening wiki too:

What kinds of things are you interested in or do you have experience with?
