摘要:
An approach for detecting a kernel-level rootkit is presented. A changed entry in a System Service Descriptor Table (SSDT) or an Interrupt Descriptor Table (IDT) is detected. The changed entry results from an installation of suspect software. The changed entry is determined to be not referenced by a white list. A black list is updated to reference the changed entry to indicate the changed entry results from an installation of the kernel-level rootkit. The suspect software is determined to be the kernel-level rootkit based on the changed entry not being referenced by the white list. The changed entry is restored to an entry included in a first state of an operating system kernel. The first state is based on the SSDT and IDT referencing hooks indicated in the white list, where the hooks are not the result of an installation of any kernel-level rootkit.
