Rootkit Hunter

rootkit, backdoor, sniffer and exploit scanner
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.
