RE: Rootkit For Spyware? Hide your adware from

[James.Cupps () sappi com]

It depends on which kit they based it on. My guess is these guys weren't
good enough to do the coding themselves so they stole someone else's code.
Of course I can' t think of any rootkits under any kind of license so I
guess it isn't really stealing. Maybe the kits' authors should track these
bozo's down and ask for some compensation. They are probably good enough to
find them.

Are they capable of hiding from "ps" when using the posix shell from
"Windows Services for Unix" ?
