Subject: [gentoo-user] sys-forensics/chkrootkit finds INFECTED binaries on ~amd64
Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2011 14:09:00 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <imo91k$97d$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)

I just got an email from cron on my ~amd64 machine, containing these lines:

Checking 'find'... INFECTED
Checking 'netstat'... INFECTED

Took me a few minutes to deduce that sys-forensics/chkrootkit was the source
of those messages.  I ran chkrootkit manually and found the same messages in
the output.

I then nervously re-emerged findutils and net-tools, but chkrootkit again found
the same binaries to be "INFECTED".

Running chkrootkit on my ~x86 machine turns up no such infections even though
the same packages are installed on both machines.

Anyone have any insight into how chkrootkit works, or why the different results?

Or, can anyone reproduce my problem?

Thanks.
