There are a lot of papers and examples on how to hide processes, registry keys, etc in Windows NT based systems. The problem comes when you are trying to hide these things from programs such as icesword which are specifically designed to detect hidden things by using low level calls instead of using the windows API. If anyone knows any good papers or examples on how to keep things hidden from these ‘rootkit’ detectors (which is what hxdef golden claims to do) I would be interested as well. I am doing some research comparing rootkits, rootkit detectors and anti-rootkit detections techniques.
Hi,
for the tips... sorry but i don't know which suggestions to give you,
but i advise you to study AFX rootkit, when I wrote my first rootkit
this code helped me a lot because it can hide
"""
a) Processes
b) Handles
c) Modules
d) Files & Folders
e) Registry Keys & Values
f) Services
g) TCP/UDP Sockets
h) Systray Icons
"""
There is an article that is well writen (about win32 rootkit): it's
"Analysis of a win32 userland rootkit " by Kdm, it's really a good
paper.

PS: If you want, i own the code of hxdef but this rootkit is known by
everybody so for invisibility, hwdef is not the right tool !!! but the
code is great for learning how to code a win32 rootkit.
