Unhide is a forensic tool to find hidden processes and TCP/UDP ports by rootkits / LKMs
or by another hiding technique.

// Unhide (unhide-linux or unhide-posix)
// -------------------------------------

Detecting hidden processes. Implements six main techniques

1- Compare /proc vs /bin/ps output

2- Compare info gathered from /bin/ps with info gathered by walking thru the procfs. ONLY for unhide-linux version

3- Compare info gathered from /bin/ps with info gathered from syscalls (syscall scanning).

4- Full PIDs space ocupation (PIDs bruteforcing). ONLY for unhide-linux version

5- Compare /bin/ps output vs /proc, procfs walking and syscall. ONLY for unhide-linux version
   Reverse search, verify that all thread seen by ps are also seen in the kernel.

6- Quick compare /proc, procfs walking and syscall vs /bin/ps output. ONLY for unhide-linux version
  It's about 20 times faster than tests 1+2+3 but maybe give more false positives.

// Unhide_rb
// ---------

It's a back port in C language of the ruby unhide.rb
As the original unhide.rb, it is roughly equivalent to "unhide-linux quick reverse" :
- it makes three tests less (kill, opendir and chdir),
- it only run /bin/ps once at start and once for the double check,
- also, its tests are less accurate (e.g.. testing return value instead of errno),
- processes are only identified by their exe link (unhide-linux also use cmdline and
  "sleeping kernel process" name),
- there's little protection against failures (failed fopen or popen by example),
- there's no logging capability.
It is very quick, about 80 times quicker than "unhide-linux quick reverse"

// Unhide-TCP
// ----------

Identify TCP/UDP ports that are listening but not listed in sbin/ss or /bin/netstat.
It use two methods: 
- brute force of all TCP/UDP ports availables and compare with SS/netstat output.
- probe of all TCP/UDP ports not reported by netstat.

                       It doesn't implement PIDs brute forcing check yet. Needs more testing
                       Warning : This version is somewhat outdated and may generate false positive.
                                 Prefer unhide-linux.c if you can use it.

// Compiling
// ---------

If you ARE using a Linux kernel >= 2.6
      gcc -Wall -O2 --static -pthread unhide-linux*.c unhide-output.c -o unhide-linux
      gcc -Wall -O2 --static unhide_rb.c -o unhide_rb
      gcc -Wall -O2 --static unhide-tcp.c unhide-tcp-fast.c unhide-output.c -o unhide-tcp
      ln -s unhide unhide-linux

Else (Linux < 2.6, *BSD, Solaris and other Unice)
      gcc --static unhide-posix.c -o unhide-posix
      ln -s unhide unhide-posix

// Using
// -----
You MUST be root to use unhide-linux and unhide-tcp.

Examples:
 # ./unhide-linux  -vo quick reverse
 # ./unhide-linux  -vom procall sys
 # ./unhide_rb

 # ./unhide-tcp  -flov
 # ./unhide-tcp  -flovs
