Re: Rootkit

Hi Dave,

Just my 2 cents advice.

The first thing I do to scan filesystems suspected of being intruded is to 
launch against them (from remote or booting on CD, ...) an antivirus.
I found these were detecting many rootkit signatures.
This simple action could help stepping forward, but is definitely not enough.

If you saved binaries, you could also simply do a 'strings' on them and 
check the "text" displayed.
If you see some infos (possibly the password to get in) that are definitely 
not matching with the binary's mission, that's suspicious.

What is the operating system you suspect to be intruded?
Some OS propose to public a MD5 signatures databases of all official 
versions of their binaries.
Could also be useful to compare with these databases

Hope this will help.
