[Article] Detecting and Understanding Rootkits

Hi everybody!

A couple of days ago I released a simple paper regarding rootkits on Rathore Balwant's PenTest list. Today I'm releasing it here, I hope it is useful for people starting in this interesting area. The paper's first version (this one) is NOT covering the newest technology on rootkits, as the creator of it requested, which will currently remain anonymous. Stay tuned!

It is an GNU FDL licensed document.

Level: Basic/Avg

You can download the paper from this URL:

Bye! I hope you all enjoy it.
