Re: Hidden processes in windows

[Nikhil Wagholikar <visitnikhil () gmail com>]

Hi Raja,

Rootkits can help do your job successfully.

Most rootkits typically hide files, processes, network connections,
blocks of memory or Windows Registry entries from other programs used
by system administrators to detect specially privileged accesses to
computer system resources. This is one of the features of Rootkits.

To detect hidden processes, you need to have Anti-Rootkits or third
party softwares which don't use system binaries or DLLs, EXEs to
execute. One such excellent tool is 'SysInternals' from Microsoft.
Other ones being tools available from Helix Forensics CD. And there
are more such tools.
