As we see here, rootkit mainly affect UNIX-like systems, including Linux and Mac OS X. Thats why Linux servers are easier to hack via Defacement, as well as Root Kit........... People running Linux should install Rootkit Hunter: http://www.rootkit.nl/projects/rootkit_hunter.html http://www.rootkit.com/ --------------- There are things that we can gain from this.

We somehow can be immune to those massive defacements and rootkits as we can use their knowledge on hacking for us to improve ourselves...
