Icesword by the Xfocus guys:
http://xfocus.net/tools/200509/1085.html

Sysinternals.com rootkit revealer should detect any persistent rootkit:
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/RootkitRevealer.html

F-Secure's Blacklight:
http://www.f-secure.com/blacklight/

Of course, the output of these tools is far from what you might be used to
from your antivirus, it won't pop-up saying 'XYZ rootkit found'... you'll
probably find something along the lines of your SSDT table has been hooked
or that the EPROCESS structure doesn't match with the results of
ZwQuerySystemInformation. Having a little bit of background on how device
drivers and rootkits work would be a good idea. One can do no better than
Greg Hoglund's work at http://www.rootkit.com. I highly recommend his book,
'Rootkits - Subverting the Windows Kernel'. You could also visit Joanna
Rutkowska's site http://www.invisiblethings.org.

Hi
Could someone tell me a few of the popular trojans or rootkits, of the types

which are good at concealing themselves? I need this information for an
exercise that I am doing.

Thanks
