root-kit

Dear Guys,

I want to know more about root-kit in Solaris.. If I'm not mistaken, root-kit is a bunch of scripts nor executable program that can manipulate root-privileges.

And sometimes, root-kit is defined as malware.. Is that right?

How to check whether my system got root-kit installed?
And how to remove it?

Thank You very much

rootkits are bad news, yes. They are always malware.

Try rootkit hunter - it was tested on Sun

Rootkit Hunter

Meanwhile keep the box isolated from the internet and from your local network.

Thanks Jim, I'll try it...
