Rootkit Hunter scans files and systems for known
and unknown rootkits, backdoors, sniffers, and malware. The
application consists of the main shell script, a few
text-based databases, and optional Perl scripts. It can recognise and run external applications like ’skdet’ and ‘unhide’. It should run on almost every Unix clone.
Changes: This release offers more ease of use and improved checks. The changelog lists 29 additions including 9 configuration options and details for 12 rootkits, 29 changes including improvements for 15 rootkit checks, and 22 bugfixes.
