SysInternals Releases RootkitRevealer

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday February 23, 2005 @02:58AM from the have-you-been-pwn3d-lately dept.

Brian writes "In the wake of news that Microsoft is developing prototype software to detect rootkits, SysInternals has released a free rootkit detection tool named RootkitRevealer for all Windows systems NT4+. RootkitRevealer works by "comparing the results of a system scan at the highest level with that at the lowest level," and detects every known rootkit at rootkit.com. They also report that it is impossible to know for sure that a given system is clean from within it, but that defeating their tool would require a level of sophistication not yet seen. You can download RootkitRevealer."

What about Apple? by Anonymous Coward · 2005-02-23 03:06 · Score: -1, Offtopic

And what does this have to do with Apple? With the new MacMini, we won't need Windows PEE CEEs anymore at all.

Now that the PEECEE cheapskates buying $500 equipment don't have the "price" to compare to, they have no argument. Just switch over to the Mac already and be done with it. The Mac is the most versatile, most secure and most sexy computer that's ever been invented.
