Have you taken a look at the RootKit Revelations help forum? http://www.castlecops.com/f233-Rootkit_Revelations.html -----Original Message----- From: rainmann () sbcglobal net [mailto:rainmann () sbcglobal net] Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 00:11 To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: rootkit behavior Can a rootkit hide on a seperate physical disk from the operating system? In other words, if WINNT is on c:\ can the rootkit live on physically seperate data drives e:\ and f:\? I have a client who wants his c:\ drive reformatted and reloaded to insure that no rogue program remains. I haven't been able to give him a definitive answer concerning his extensive data drives. Also, does anyone know of any useful detection tools other than RootKit Revealer and Blacklight? I saw the post the other day about Helios but read that 1) it requires the .Net framework (ouch!) and 2) doesn't work for Win2K. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- This list is sponsored by: Norwich University EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The NSA has designated Norwich University a center of Academic Excellence in Information Security.
