From the developer:
Rootkit scanner is a scanning tool to ensure you for about 99.9%* you're clean of nasty tools. This tool scans for rootkits, backdoors and local exploits by running tests like:
- MD5 hash compare
- Look for default files used by rootkits
- Wrong file permissions for binaries
- Look for suspected strings in LKM and KLD modules
- Look for hidden files
- Optional scan within plaintext and binary files
You may want to check out more Mac applications, such as Product Hunt, Highlight Hunter Free or Witches' Legacy: Hunter and the Hunted Collector's Edition, which might be similar to Rootkit Hunter.
