PK,
You say rootkits are no real threaths ?
Mmm, Isn’t a rootkit made to gain TOTAL control of the kernel and kernel mode services ?
Insn’t it true that rootkits are very small in size (approx 50kb) and could be easlely (just like a normal trojan like Optix, Bionet, Beast,) be stealthy downloaded and excecuted on the victims pc ?
Or do you say that trojans like Bionet and family posseses no danger also ?
Most of these rootkits go undetected by AV scanners anyway.
I tested with Avast, AVG, E-trust 7
(only Kasperky online detected (FU-rootkit) it in NORMAL zip format) > not crypted or packed with some excotic archive.
I believe, and so do others, that rootkits are the most dangerous malware around (some may be legit, but i strongly doubt that) They have total control over your box, go totaly invisible, and CAN’T be detected with conventional ways. They are almost impossibel to uninstall, and are not found in the registery.
copy & paste from the Vanquish website :
Vanquish is a DLL injection based rootkit that hides files, folders, registry entries and logs passwords.
What can a rootkit do :
Hide processes
Hide files or real contents
Hide registery keys or values
Adds backdoor
Hide backdoor presence from admin & remote scanning R.A.T. activity !
sniff network
and much more :o
please comment.
