How to install a rootkit hunter on your server/vps
Installing a rootkithunter is always a good idea , so, lets get one
So open putty ,
log on as “root” and enter your password.
Then you type;
wget ftp://ftp.pangeia.com.br/pub/seg/pac/chkrootkit.tar.gz
Wait for it to stop and then type
tar xvzf chkrootkit.tar.gz
This will unpack it, then type
cd chkrootkit-/
This will take us to right folder, then type
make sense
This will install it and its done.
To run/check for rootkits you open putty, log in as “root” and enter password
then type in
./chkrootkit
This will start the scanner, as it runs, look at screen for any that say “INFECTED”
If your Server/Vps is infected, you can try to replace files with clean ones ,but its best to delete everything and start over since getting rid of them is next to impossible.
