Question about Unix OS

<< < (3/3)

mael:
Anyone have any articles about rootkits and running them at kernel mode-- or how to protect against a rootkit being run on the kernel mode?

Thanks for the responses, but I'm looking to use some evidance that he is wrong, and to learn more about it for myself.  I've done a search on Google and didn't find much.

preacher:
Well here is the deal. A properly updated Unix box is near impossible to get a root kit installed on. Root kits are usually found on boxes that are updated rarely and have old unpatched vulnerabilities.

Even so, a Unix box with a root kit installed is still more stable than a non-compromised Windows box with uptimes sometimes in the years.
