8.3. Anti-Rootkit
A rootkit is a program designed to take fundamental control of a computer system,
without authorization by the system's owners and legitimate managers. Access to the
hardware is rarely required as a rootkit is intended to seize control of the operating
system running on the hardware. Typically, rootkits act to obscure their presence on
the system through subversion or evasion of standard operating system security
mechanisms. Often, they are also Trojans as well, thus fooling users into believing
they are safe to run on their systems. Techniques used to accomplish this can include
concealing running processes from monitoring programs, or hiding files or system data
from the operating system.
