Description-en: Forensic tool to find processes hidden by rootkits
Unhide.rb is a forensic tool to find processes hidden by rootkits.
.
It looks for active processes in many different ways. Processes found by
some means but not others are considered to be "hidden", and are reported
to the user.
.
Unhide.rb is a tentative of rewrite in Ruby of the original Unhide, which
is written in C. While being much faster, it does not implement all the
diagnostics of the original version. It is also less secure as it cannot
be statically compiled.
.
This package can be used by rkhunter in its daily scans.
