Rootkit Detectors

MS Research has published some papers about Rootkit technologies and especially RootKit detection:
https://research.microsoft.com/rootkit/

This stuff is VERY GOOD to read, and has been positively commented by a lot of people, including Bruce Schneier: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/ghostbuster.html

The straightforward links to some of these papers are:

GhostBuster tech report

Of course I am not the first person to blog about this, there are loads of other people who spotted the thing earlier than I did, and this new has been commented by many people.
But it is very interesting, and I encourage everybody who hasn't done it yet to read it.

Also, Sysinternals has released today a Rootkit detector (looks like RootKits are finally getting a lot of attention these days...)
