Chris Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 IntroductionRootkitRevealer is an advanced root kit detection utility. It runs on Windows NT4 and higher and its output lists Registry and file system API discrepancies thatmay indicate the presence of a user-mode or kernel-mode rootkit. RootkitRevealer successfully detects all persistent rootkits published at www.rootkit.com, including AFX, Vanquish and HackerDefender (note: RootkitRevealer is not intended to detect rootkits like Fu that don't attempt to hide their files or registry keys). If you use it to identify the presence of a rootkit please let us know! What is a Rootkit? The term rootkit is used to describe the mechanisms and techniques whereby malware,including viruses, spyware, and trojans, attempt to hide their presence from spyware blockers, antivirus, and system management utilities. There are several rootkit classifications depending on whether the malware survives reboot and whether it executes in user mode or kernel mode.More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
