Ubuntu E2E Documentation Status

out-of-tree

out-of-tree is the kernel {module, exploit} development tool.

sudo apt install podman || sudo dnf install podman

curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
mkdir -p ~/.config/nix

# stable
nix profile install nixpkgs#out-of-tree

# latest
nix profile install git+https://code.dumpstack.io/tools/out-of-tree
