# Host
Simple things that can be demonstrated by inserting a module into the currently running host. Tested on Ubuntu 16.04.
1. [hello](hello.c)
1. [ins_rm_mod.c](ins_rm_mod.c)
## Rationale
This method easier to setup, but it is not recommended for development, as:
- it may break your system
- you can't control which kernel version to use
Use VMs instead.
## Usage
We only use it for super simple examples.
Build, insert and remove a hello world module:
make
sudo insmod hello.ko
# Our module should be there.
sudo lsmod | grep hello
# Last message should be: init_module
dmest -T
sudo rmmod hello
# Last message should be: cleanup_module
dmest -T
Insert and remove the `hello.ko` module from a C program with system calls:
sudo ./ins_rm_mod.out
