DR rootkit released under the GPLDR rootkit released under the GPLPosted Sep 12, 2008 15:17 UTC (Fri) by cde (subscriber, #46554)In reply to: DR rootkit released under the GPL by zmi Parent article: DR rootkit released under the GPL
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?
