Garbage. You can do this on any OS, whether it supports loadable
modules or not, if you've managed to win sufficient privileges through
some other means. FreeBSD (and other OSs with loadable module support)
merely provides a well-defined API which, like almost every other well-
defined API, can be abused by those who harbor ill-will.
Making the interface "complicated" does absolutely nothing to stop
script-kiddies: Once a complicated interface is in an exploit script,
who cares how arcane it is?
