Description

Checks a Linux system for signs of rootkits, suspicious files, and unwanted tools. It is useful for administrators who want a local security scan as one signal among logs, package verification, and incident response procedures.

Scanner results can include false positives and do not prove a system is clean. Review findings carefully, keep signatures updated, and investigate suspicious results before deleting files.
