So oldskool, do they even work anymore? It's been years.

Why not? if you know how to use it correctly its work like a "Beast" even today.

Yes still working good, bundled with unhide and these 3 parameters (rkhunter.conf) you're done :

Spoiler: rkhunter.conf

1-mirrors_mode=1 ---> mirrors_mode=0
2 update_mirrors=0 ---> update_mirrors=1
3 web_cmd="/bin/false" ---> web_cmd=""

Then run as sudo
rkhunter --update
rkhunter --propupd
rkhunter -c

Haven't used it in years, even forgot it was still working. if your targeted with some super special rootkit zeroday can it stop it?

Installed Fedora Kinoite in VM to test it out.
I might give it a chance....

yes please post your thoughts re Kinoite, I've been running everyday for about a month and have had no issues (that I'm aware of). I don't update the ostree everyday.

No, they will absolutely not stop a zero-day rootkit.Use a layered approach instead of old-school signature scanner.Lynis Security Auditing,AIDE / Tripwire,Fail2Ban + SSH Keys.
