Quote:
'This book is different. Instead of covering the attacks, this book will teach you how attackers stay in after the break-in.'
'This book is about penetrating a computer system without being detected.'
'In this chapter we will introduce you to rootkit technology and the general principals of how it works.
Rootkits are only part of the computer-security spectrum, but they are critical for many attacks to be successful.

Rootkits are not, in and of themselves, malicious. However, rootkits can be used by malicious programs. Understanding rootkit technology is critical if you are to defend against modern attacks.'
