chkrootkit false positive? / prelinking (t0rn)

#1 Post by StarsAndBars14 »

As a sort of continuation to the "prelinking" thread I posted a while ago, a run of chkrootkit has output back at me "Possible t0rn(v8) rootkit installed."

Rkhunter, since I have this on hand to check, has not detected such a thing and no files or ports seem to be out of place.

Is this a false positive which occurs after prelinking, or just on Etch in general?
Hypocrisy is like Windows XP: pathetic, a sign of insecurity, and a product of questionable practices.

Searching for t0rn's default files and dirs... nothing found
Searching for t0rn's v8 defaults... nothing found
From chkrootkit on my fairly stright Etch system.

Then I guess the next thing I do is reinstall rkhunter.

(Edit: Yup, it is a false positive. libproc-dev is installed and, according to users on the debian-isp mailing list, that seems to play around with t0rn detection a little.)
