Linux Security Tools

In this page i will try to provide some of the must have tools for linux OS. Some of these tools can also be used for FreeBsd:

ROOT KIT HUNTERS:

Installation how to

*  CHKROOTKIT

* RKHUNTER

* ROOTCHECK
@RootCheck:

You can download the rootcheck latest version from the following URL:

http://www.ossec.net/rootcheck/files/

Installation how to:

tar -zxvf rootcheck-0.7.tar.gz  ( whatever version you have downloded)

cd rootcheck-0.7
make all  ( you have to answer some of the question that will be fired on you on this step )

This will install the two files on the same directory(ossec-rootcheck & rootcheck.conf).

Use any one of the commands to analyse you server:

ossec-rootcheck -c rootcheck.conf

OR

ossec-rootcheck -s ( to scan the entire system– I will suggest this option)

Check with the README file for any further query’s
