    chkrootkit

    Hi all,

    Apologies if this is seen as a noob question but...

    Now I know how to use the program chkrootkit but what I'd like to know is if I have a windows machine say running windows 7 that I think might have been infected with some malware, can I boot Kali from a live CD and run chkrootkit to find malware on the windows 7 files? Or will chkrootkit only search the Kali Linux files?

    Thank you very much in advance for your replies.

    Kali only.

    However, ClamAV is in the repos and would be able to scan the windows 7 partition.
    This is a Kali-Linux support forum - not general IT/infosec help.

    Useful Commands: OS, Networking, Hardware, Wi-Fi
    Troubleshooting: Kali-Linux Installation, Repository, Wi-Fi Cards (Official Docs)
    Hardware: Recommended 802.11 Wireless Cards
