Name : unhide Product : Fedora 9 Version : 1.0 Release : 2.fc9.20080519 URL : http://www.security-projects.com/?Unhide Summary : Tool to find hidden processes and TCP/UDP ports from rootkits Description : Unhide is a forensic tool to find processes and TCP/UDP ports hidden by rootkits, Linux kernel modules or by other techniques. It includes two utilities: unhide and unhide-tcp. Unhide detects hidden processes using three techniques: - comparing the output of /proc and /bin/ps - comparing the information gathered from /bin/ps with the one gathered from system calls (syscall scanning) - full scan of the process ID space (PIDs bruteforcing) unhide-tcp identifies TCP/UDP ports that are listening but are not listed in /bin/netstat through brute forcing of all TCP/UDP ports available. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Unhide is a forensic tool to find processes and TCP/UDP ports hidden by rootkits, Linux kernel modules or by other techniques.
