Rootkit Hunter

Tags: rootkit
Description
Rootkit Hunter scans systems for known and unknown rootkits, backdoors, sniffers and exploits.

It checks for:
- MD5 hash changes;
- files commonly created by rootkits;
- executables with anomalous file permissions;
- suspicious strings in kernel modules;
- hidden files in system directories; and can optionally scan within files.

Using rkhunter alone does not guarantee that a system is not compromised. Running additional tests, such as chkrootkit, is recommended.
