Post subject: Security Watch: Root Kit 101

I've written before about the dangers of remote access Trojan horses (RATs). Briefly, these are bits of code that get onto your computer in a variety of ways and open an unused port on your PC so that remote criminal hackers (crackers) can gain access at their leisure. Root kits are a more specialized version of a RAT, in that they are virtually invisible. The good news is that more and more security vendors are recognizing the danger posed by root kits. The bad news is that root kit authors are finding more and better ways of keeping their malicious code hidden.

Root what?
A simple definition of root kit is a collection of tools used by any criminal intruder to gain access to the root of a remote system, to get control of that computer, and to hide their presence. For example, if you were to search for running processes on your computer, a malicious tool might mask its presence by not allowing itself to appear. You would have no way of knowing whether you were infected.
