A method and apparatus for detecting kernel data structure tampering are disclosed. In the method and apparatus, a memory region of a computer system is scanned for one or more characteristics of a kernel data structure of an operating system kernel. It is then determined, based at least in part on identifying whether the one or more characteristics are found in the memory region, whether the kernel data structure is stored in the memory region of the computer system for tampering with the kernel data structure.
