Discusses rootkits

Why is a rootkit more dangerous than a run-of-the-mill piece of malware? Why is detection of a rootkit more difficult than detection of run-of-the-mill malware? If rootkits are so bad, why is there not a larger market of rootkit detection capabilities?

You must include at least one scholarly citation. This is not a "book report", so please use your citation to underpin your understanding of the subject matter but do not simply summarize your source.

You are also not allowed to use quotations from your source, nor are you allowed to plagiarize. Responding to a classmate's post requires both the addition of new ideas and analysis.

A particular point made by the classmate must be addressed and built upon by your analysis in order to move the conversation forward. Thus, the response post is a rigorous assignment that requires you to build upon initial posts to develop deeper and more thorough discussion of the ideas introduced in the initial posts.

As such, reply posts that merely affirm, restate or unprofessionally quarrel with the previous post(s) and fail to make a valuable, substantive contribution to the discussion will receive appropriate point deductions.
