Check For Rootkits In Ubuntu
There’s a nice pre-made script which checks your Ubuntu system for Rootkits. Whilst it’s by no means exhaust way of finding out if your system is infected it makes it real simply and easy to do.
First thing to do is install the script
$sudo apt-get install chkrootkit
Next run it:
$sudo chkrootkit
or redirect the output to a file
$sudo chkrootkit > rootkit.txt
That’s it!
