Description
Rootkit Hunter (Rkhunter) is a widely used security scanner that helps system administrators detect hidden threats within Unix and Linux-based operating systems. It examines system binaries, network configurations, and startup scripts to identify anomalies that could indicate unauthorized modifications or security breaches. The tool is particularly effective in identifying rootkits that attempt to evade detection by hiding malicious processes and files. With its automated scanning capabilities and extensive logging features, Rkhunter is an essential component of proactive security monitoring in enterprise environments.
