    Well, following their own whois information:

    Rook Security is apparently a front for the "Rook Group,"

    Registrant Email: info@rookconsulting.net ..of "Rook Consulting." So it's already sounding like a holding company...the interesting part is who's behind all -that- mess, on rooksecurity.com, they list their "PR" contact as twhitman@vocecomm.com...Tim Whitman, who apparently is also the PR contact for another no-name outfit, BeyondTrust:

    One of the few articles I can find advertising their "skills" is one of their own press releases and all the companies involved seem to be awfully vague about what services they're offering exactly...

    2/54, could be false positives I've at least heard of Rook Security although I forget in what context ;)

    Figured I'd take a look at the tools. Download what claims to be the software for windows (first link). Get presented with a Zip file, as expected. Open zip file and find.... OSX software. Thinking I clicked on the wrong link I went back to download a second time... Same file.

    So... yeah.. ranking real high on the trust value right now.
