Sysinternals Rootkit Detector

[thehorse13]

I got this info from a mailing list. I tried out the tool and sure enough, it does what it says.

http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/fr...itreveal.shtml

“RootkitRevealer is a an advanced root kit detection utility. It runs on Windows NT 4 and higher and its output lists Registry and file system API discrepancies that may indicate the presence of a user-mode or kernel-mode rootkit. RootkitRevealer successfully detects all rootkits published at www.rootkit.com, including AFX, Vanquish and HackerDefender.”

Hi thehorse13,

First you download the unit then scan...it displays discrepencies...do you then just delete the discrepencies and reboot ?
And how do you tell which ones you should delete ?

Thanks,

You have to research the discrepencies and you have to know what a rootkit hook looks like. Think of this tool as the HijackThis for rootkits. You have to know what you're looking at.

Egal, make a backup before you play with that thing. To get the best result run it from a clean boot. Nice tool Master Jedi.

Rockstar TH. I want you to however take a look at the INI I inputed for hacker defender and look to see if there is anything I could have made more covert. This was the best I could do however since I don't have a whole lot of experiance with desiging rootkits ( I started messing with them about 2 years ago but never put any to use, hence why I say I don't have 'experiance') Nevertheless my best attempt was thwarted by rootkit revealer. As was said earlier, it does exactly what it says. Anyways, take a look at it and PM me with your words of wisdom. You know me. I like to play with this kinda stuff.
