It checks for: - SHA256 hash changes; - files commonly created by rootkits; - executables with anomalous file permissions; - suspicious strings in kernel modules; - hidden files in system directories; and can optionally scan within files. . Using rkhunter alone does not guarantee that a system is not compromised. Running additional tests, such as chkrootkit, is recommended.
