What if I already got a root kit on my system. Can I, by creating a hidden
process with DR, use a shell to see those other hidden root kit processes?
Then it would be a nice security tool.

All rootkits can be detected when you know where to look (except perhaps hypervisor rootkits).
In this case the trick is to reload a new bare IDT with lidt (which can't be trapped with DR), and then proceed to clear all debug registers before checking for signs of the rootkit. I don't know of any ARK software that does this yet (switching the IDT is a bit dangerous, and has to be done for all processors).

The IDT is not modified by this rootkit, so what's the use of loading a new idt?
