## Description

KernelSU-Next is a kernel-level framework designed to provide administrative privileges and granular access control on the Android operating system. By integrating directly into the kernel during the build process, the project enables superuser management and system-wide modifications through kernel-level patching and system call interception.

The framework distinguishes itself by utilizing non-persistent file system overlays, which allow for system partition modifications and module injection without altering underlying read-only storage blocks. This approach facilitates dynamic functionality extensions and administrative control while maintaining the integrity of the original storage partitions.

Beyond core privilege management, the project supports advanced system behavior analysis and security research. It enforces strict security boundaries by validating application requests against defined permission profiles, ensuring that administrative access is managed through granular, application-specific controls.
