What We Assess

6 Areas We Examine

01
Hidden Process Detection
Compares process lists from multiple sources (procfs, syscall, /proc) to detect processes hidden by rootkits from standard tools.
02
Binary Integrity Verification
Checks system binaries against known-good hashes. Detects trojaned versions of ls, ps, netstat, and other critical utilities.
03
Kernel Module Analysis
Enumerates loaded kernel modules and compares against baseline. Flags unsigned, unknown, or suspicious modules that could indicate kernel-level rootkits.
04
Bootkit Detection
Inspects boot records, EFI partitions, and boot chain integrity to detect persistent threats that survive OS reinstallation.
05
Fileless Malware Scanning
Monitors memory-resident threats, suspicious PowerShell execution, process injection, and in-memory-only payloads that leave no disk footprint.
06
Persistence Mechanism Audit
Reviews cron jobs, systemd services, init scripts, shell profiles, and SSH authorized_keys for unauthorized persistence mechanisms.
Who This Assessment Is For

Organisations that suspect compromise, are responding to an incident, or want proactive threat hunting on critical infrastructure servers.

Common Findings We Uncover
Unauthorized cron jobs and systemd services
Modified system binaries with different hashes
Unknown kernel modules loaded at boot
Suspicious SSH authorized_keys entries
Hidden processes not visible in standard ps output
Compliance Frameworks Mapped

Common Questions

Does this require agent deployment?
The initial assessment is questionnaire-based. Deep scanning with SpectraAgent is performed only if you proceed to a monitoring engagement.
Can you detect fileless malware?
Yes. SpectraAgent monitors memory-resident threats, PowerShell-based attacks, and process injection techniques that leave no files on disk.
What happens if a rootkit is found?
We provide a detailed forensic report with remediation steps. SpectraAgent can isolate affected systems and guide clean recovery with full backup and revert capability.
