Patent abstract
Embodiments of a RootKit detector are directed to identifying a RootKit on a computer that is designed to conceal malware. Aspects of the RootKit detector leverage services provided by kernel debugger facilities to automatically obtain data in specified data structures that are maintained by an operating system. Then the data obtained from the kernel debugger facilities is processed with an integrity checker that determines whether the data contains properties sufficient to declare that a RootKit is resident on the computer.
