RootkitRevealer

Sysinternals Freeware - Utilities for Windows NT and Windows 2000 - RootkitRevealer

Here’s a free tool for finding rootkits on your Windows system. I realize Microsoft is working or already has a similar tool, but using a MS tool to look for rootkits just doesn’t sit well with me. Maybe I’m (okay, not just maybe), but I always suspect that there are few loopholes built into MS products for their own use. Sysinternals has a good reputation, and I’m sure if someone with the skills asked nicely, the authors would allow others to review the source code.

If you have cause to use this program, drop me a line. I’m interested in hearing about your experience with it.

    I wish Systernals would have included a list of normally hidden items. I am not a guru and I am not sure of what I am looking at. A list of what would normally show up can’t be that big.
