I can't answer your entire question but I can provide a good resource. http://www.packetstormsecurity.org/UNIX/penetration/rootkits/
Packet Storm has A LOT of known rootkits listed there with descriptions and links to other sites. Another tool you might look into is Rootkit Hunter (rkhunter). Good Luck! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ahmed Zaki Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 1:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RootKits Under Linux Hi all I am currently doing a project on rootkits under linux os. I am specially interested in loadable kernel module rootkits. I wanted to know where does research stand now in terms of detecting such rootkits. It would be very helpful if you would be able to point me to resources where I gain information on the diverse variations of these rootkits and current available methods of detecting them. Also if there are mechanisms that can be used to totally avoid detection that would be used by rootkits.
