Rootkit Definition: A rootkit is a type of malicious software that is designed to provide unauthorized access to a computer system while concealing its presence from users and security mechanisms.
Rootkit is a type of malicious software that is designed to gain unauthorized access to a computer system or network while concealing its presence. It is often used by attackers to remotely control the compromised system, steal sensitive information, or carry out other malicious activities without being detected by security measures or antivirus software. Rootkits are particularly concerning as they often operate at the deepest levels of a system, making their detection and removal difficult.
Rootkit is one of the topics you'll master in the CEH Boot Camp.
