1. install rkhunter
2. update it:
#rkhunter --update
3. generate checksums of important files:
#rkhunter --propupd
*NOTE: when normal system s/w updates are installed, some of the files watched by rkhunter may change and thus generate false warnings. It also needs to be run again to update checksums after updates.
- hostyle 14y agoWhat stops an attacker running rkhunter --proupd after he/she has installed backdoors in a few of your binaries ? I realise what rkhunter does (searches for common backdoors), but I can't see what advantage the proupd argument adds.
