Title

Windows Rootkits A Game Of “Hide And Seek”

Abstract

Rootkits are a type of malware that attempt to hide their presence on a system, typically by compromising the communication conduit between an Operating System and its users. In this chapter, we track the evolution of rootkits and the techniques used to defend against them from the earliest rootkits to highly advanced, present day rootkits capable of exploiting processor virtualization extensions and infecting the BIOS.
