Description Dimitry Bradt (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-15 16:05:39 UTC
I'd like to propose a new document to be written to detail what rootkits are and how you can prevent this. I think this should be placed in the security hb. 

I'll start writing when i'll get a green light about the idea. (if it is usefull etc)

ALL input on this subject is welcome here :))
Greetings
Diox

i would use info from here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rootkit) if compatible with our license; And actualize it to Gentoo Linux.
