    Would it be possible for a program running as root
    that wasn't compiled with the kernel to access a
    process structure in the processes link list?

    I've read an article about hiding processes and the
    article made sound so easy to access the link list and
    hide a process, how easy is it?

    Is it possible to a process to access its own entry in
    the processes link list?

    Thanks,

    Ali
