I rebuilt rkhunter-1.2.8-1.noarch.rpm by using the spec and tgz from the rkhunter site (www.rootkit.nl). (I rebuilt it using his instructions.) However rkhunter does not do an md5 check. The box used to have fedora and each time there were updates it would complain that the some of the md5's don't match. I contacted the author using his contact feature on Wednesday but he hasn't rep...

Anyone wanna explain why ClamAV thinks Wine has a rootkit in it? It finds "mountmgr.sys" and "usbd.sys" as "BC.Heuristics.Rootkit.B" This is not altered Wine.. or even used... but it happens just pure straight up compile from source Wine even if its never been ran.... its finding them in the fakedlls folder. I have not tri...

Hi all, I need to install an anti-rootkid in a lot of servers. I know that there're several options: tripwire, aide, chkrootkit... ?What do you prefer? Obviously, I have to define my needs: - easy setup and configuration - actively developed -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent

Hello; I'm running a FreeBSD 4.10-release-p2 box and both chkrootkit 0.44 & 0.45 report that my /sbin/init file is infected. It appears as though the egrep for "UPX" in the output of "strings" triggers the infected notice. When I copy the init file from an uninfected box to this one chkrootkit continues to report it as infected. Is chkrootk...

It won't completely protect prevent rootkits, because still rootkits can edit dynamic kernel data structures, but it will limit what rootkits damage to only dynamic data.

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a good day. However, I am concerned by this: https://isc.sans.edu/diary/SSHD+rootkit+in+the+wild/15229 Has anyone heard yet what the attack vector is, if 5.9 and 6.4 are affected, and if a patch is coming out?

...me hundred of KMs from here)? Does it still make sense to run tripwire remotely? If yes, how, since you cannot plug a floppy or USB drive in the machine? What if tripwire was never ran? Does it make sense, on a Centos system without physical access, to download there and run remotely one of those rootkit detection tools? Would its findings be surely accurate? Generally speaking, how does one handle these issues on remote systems? Thanks in advance for any comment, Marco

...less important email (maildir format, if it matters) including messages with binary attachments in .doc, .pdf, .jpeg and other formats. What is, in the context above, the best way to make sure that **those** backed up files (which _must_ be put back on the server after reinstall) do not contain any rootkit, troian, virus, whatever? Which Centos / linux tool you'd recommend for this specific case?

If the attacker could get a shell, the attacker could have used this local root exploit to get the necessary privileges to install the rootkit. One reason why there seem to be few RHEL reports is that RHEL5 is not that widely available yet but lots of vulnerable Fedora/Debian installations are available.

... Looking for a recommendation for a commercial threat management package. ( Think antivirus / antispy / anti-rootkit -- all rolled into one engine ), similar to this product: http://usa.kaspersky.com/products_services/work-space-security.php, which currently only supports one kernel for FC6, and RHEL4, officially.

I re-created /dev/kmem, but it's missing at subsequent reboots. I have Googled many references to the IDT table problem being associated with the SuckIT rootkit, but I can find no evidence that it's installed. OK, bearing in mind that I will go ahead and reinstall the server (no biggie as I have Trixbox config backups and installing TB is not a big task), I just wanted to check whether there were any IDT table issues that may *NOT* be rootkit related...

This morning, I noticed in my security email, that my entire /usr/bin directory had setuid diff's set on them. I think I've been hacked. So I installed chkrootkit from ports and ran it. It showed not infected for everything, except NETSTAT. NETSTAT showed infected... I ran chkrootkit for another machine (at my office), and it showed not infected for everything. Both machines are running 4.7-STABLE. I can re-install and restore my data, that's not...

I tried TRD and it seems mildly useful, but has more of a windowsy feel for what it wants to be able to fix. does anyone know of something with more linux rootkit detection as a focus? I could just rebuild this machine, but I'd like to know for sure what all/how bad this was broken so I can avoid it for next time. thanks.
