rootkit


a rootkit is a set of software tools frequently used by a third party (usually an intruder) after gaining access to a computer system. these tools are intended to conceal running processes, files or system data, which helps an intruder maintain access to a system without the user’s knowledge. rootkits are known to exist for a variety of operating systems such as linux, solaris and versions of microsoft windows.
