The Root of All Evil? - Rootkits Revealed
Overview Public awareness of rootkits has risen in recent years, but as with worms, viruses and other forms of malicious software (malware), the term rootkit is applied unselectively to a range of technologies and has attracted a number of not-very-compatible definitions. While several of these technologies and definitions are explored in this paper, intention is to clarify common usages, not to supply a single "Authoritative" definition. This paper aims to assess the realities of the rootkit threat, and to examine the state of the solutions available.
