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 :

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
