What is this

This tool is a combination of Yara and ClamAV to do malware scanning on Linux system. It was made as the idea that rkhunter and chkrootkit need better replacement since both tools check absolute paths exist only.

More info about this tool

Wiki is at https://github.com/dmknght/rkcheck/wiki

Roadmaps

  • Be able to scan on any Linux system (architecture compatible) without installing dependencies
  • Improve detection of user-land rootkit
  • Research kernel-land rootkit detection

License, copyright
