Description : rkhunter (Rootkit Hunter) is a Unix-based tool
that scans for rootkits, backdoors and possible local exploits. It does
this by comparing MD5 hashes of important files with known good ones in
online database, searching for default directories (of rootkits), wrong
permissions, hidden files, suspicious strings in kernel modules, and
special tests for Linux and FreeBSD.
