Rootkits are one of the most dangerous and stealthy forms of malware that can be found in the wild today. They are almost invisible, highly intrusive, and incredibly difficult to detect. Rootkits can remain undetected on a compromised system for months or even years, allowing attackers to maintain control and quietly extract information, disrupt communications, or perform other malicious activities without detection. For this reason, cybersecurity professionals must thoroughly understand rootkits and the threats they pose, along with effective detection methods and the best practices for prevention and mitigation.
