Chkrootkit outputs hidden processes and LKM warnings.

Support Portal  »  Knowledgebase  »  Viewing Article

The LKM appear whenever "hidden" processes are found. They're usually processes that have started between the different checks that chkrootkit runs while processing. Usually, they're named mysql httpd or exim processes. You can get more information about which processes are being caught using:

cd /root/chkrootkit-0.*
./chkrootkit -x lkm

When you run it you will probably find that it returns anything from none to several processes.
