Search for rootkits with RKhunter

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

1. Install:

  • In Suse: zypper in rkhunter
  • In Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install rkhunter
  • In Fedora: yum install yum rkhunter

2. Run: rkhunter –checkall (or alternatively rkhunter -c )

The display readout is pretty self explanatory after this point in notifying you if you have a rootkit installed or not.
