    Guess I should, lol. That's the only entry I couldn't look up.

    Edit: Posted the entire log there, some conflicting opinions on some results maybe being from Daemon Tools and maybe not according to Google.

    Because all available public ARK detectors todate do not offer the scope of detection as RR so this is why this is *new* data returned and not known by google search til now;)

    Alcohol/Daemon tools RK techniques just got royally uncovered:thumb: :D

    Lol, true :) As long as Daemon doesn't try any other funny stuff it can stay. One false move and it's evicted!

    Worked on one of my Windows 2000 Pro computers but crashed the other one instantly (repeatedly...on subsequent re-boots) when I pressed the scan drivers button.
    It is still beta though...but just thought I'd mention it

    I tried it on XP Pro SP3: simple, fast, no conflict problem, and the same results as GMER on my pc: clean.

    Well is kudo's to the author ad_13 for his creation:thumb:

    So far none of my zoo collection of malware RK's and POC's have defeated it so IMO opinion it capabilities as in range of detctions excede's GMER & IceSword latest build's as well as last available RKU public release:thumb:

    Here's 2 malware RK's where GMER& last RKU are bypassed:ouch:

    Sample 1 Latest DNS Trojan has a rootkit driver(inch.sys) that borks raw disk read of virtually all ARK tools in the public arena:'(

    Sample 2 The elusive Rustock C(Ntldrbot)

    Hi fcukdat! What is this phide.exe- a newer version of it?. I get only BSODs with it. In the past I managed to run it but never got a box like this. Do u need to run it via Command Prompt?

    PROROOTECT,

    GMER at the moment is byapssed by any RK that fakes the SSDT.
    POC published back in November last year.
    http://www.rootkit.com/newsread.php?newsid=922

    Discovered being used by certain ITW rootkits by January this year:oops:

    Rootrepeal had been updated to handle this hiding technology shortly after publishing of POC at rootkit.com.

    That is the definitive sign of a tool that is still under ongoing developement and really should give a pointer as to the effectiveness of it.

    Alas the arms race goes on and no doubt another POC will come along or new RK hider ITW then it will be time once again for the tools to upgarde or be bypassed:oops:

    HTH:)
