User support is great and needed here, but I was kind of hoping that John or
UnSpawn would jump in and describe the kind of help wanted. Although programing
would be of benefit, my guess is that that's the easiest part of keeping things
up-to-date. I suspect there is a need for skills that involve familiarization
with one or more platform OS's and the current threats and vulnerabilities
specific to them.
- What rootkits are prevalent for each platform these days that are not being
covered by RKHunter 1.4.2 or 1.4.3 and more importantly, how can they be
detected and where do they install?
- Same with today's common malware, although most of that is already covered by
the A-V providers.
- OS Specific vulnerability checks.
- Individuals to maintain the databases some as old as 2007
• backdoorports.dat: ports used as backdoors
• programs_bad.dat: Exim MTA, GnuPG, Apache, Bind DNS, OpenSSL, PHP,
Proemial MTA, ProFTPD, OpenSSH, etc. (list of vulnerable versions)
- Foreign language translatorsAnd finally, a team of beta testers, at least one per platform, to quickly and thoroughly test the next version and give quality feedback to the programmers. -Al- On Mon, Nov 14, 2016 at 08:12 AM, Sam Ashley wrote: > > I agree that to the community rkhunter is really appreciated, though > yes, probably taken for granted.
