"A New Approach to Rootkit Detection"
by Hakan Yurdakul Pedersen,
Master's Thesis, submitted to Danish Technical University, Copenhagen, July 2019


Recent years have witnessed an increasing number of attacks using more sophisticated, advanced rootkits, met by substantial efforts in the security community to improve current detection methods. This paper contributes to these efforts through a state-of-the-art overview of rootkit technologies and the associated modern detection methods. Furthermore, it describes the weaknesses associated with the Secure Boot technologies which made it possible for rootkits such as LoJax to infect the boot process.
