Subject: Empirically testing the effectiveness of kernel hardening patches

Hi,

Is there some sort of standard testbed for testing the effectivenss of a
kernel hardening patch to see how effective it is against current malware?
How does one go about this?

I assume when it comes to hardening the kernel the main target is certain
forms of privilege escalation. Is it possible to use Kali linux for this
purpose?

Thanks in advance,

Carter.
