User Reviews

  • I'm giving this a 1 star due to it has not been updated since 2018 and giving false positives. If someone picks it up and fixes it I will give it 5 stars since it is a great tool and I would have supported it.
  • This project and many like them have made me enjoy computers even more! Thank you to the developers!! :)
  • Honestly, I've struggled for months what to rate this. Normally, I would have given rkhunter five stars, I'm using it on all my linux machines that have any kind of connection to the internet, and until recently I've been pretty happy with it, but I've started to run more and more things in containers, and rkhunter simply does not handle that at all. Every single process that is inside a container is flagged as "possible rootkit" and similar, possibly because the processes are running with UIDs that don't actually exist on the host system, and I see tons of issues filed with rkhunter where other people have the same problem, but none of them even just get acknowledged by the developers. In actual fact, the commit history (or rather, the timestamps on the last few commits) lead me to believe that rkhunter has been abandoned by its developers. Hence, only one star.
  • Very useful
  • Thanks for great project!
