The chkrootkit package provides the chkrootkit command to check for signs of rootkits on the local system. Run the command as root and scan the output for warnings.

Note that with current versions of ps and chkrootkit (as of 3 December 2003), ps reports the PID of some kernel processes as 0 which chkrootkit does not match to the process. Output from ps is:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 1 0.0 0.0 1484 488 ? S Dec02 0:00 init root 2 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? SW Dec02 0:00 keventd root 0 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? SWN Dec02 0:00 ksoftirqd_CPU0 root 0 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? SWN Dec02 0:00 ksoftirqd_CPU1 root 0 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? SW Dec02 0:00 kswapd root 0 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? SW Dec02 0:00 bdflush root 0 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? SW Dec02 0:00 kupdated root 22 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? SW Dec02 0:00 aacraid |
For LKM warnings you can get the process ID with:
# chkrootkit -x lkm ROOTDIR is `/' ### ### Output of: ./chkproc -v -v ### PID 3: not in ps output CWD 3: / EXE 3: / PID 4: not in ps output CWD 4: / EXE 4: / PID 5: not in ps output CWD 5: / EXE 5: / PID 6: not in ps output CWD 6: / EXE 6: / PID 7: not in ps output CWD 7: / EXE 7: / You have 5 process hidden for ps command |
The process information can be checked in /proc/
process

/status:
$ cat /proc/3/status Name: ksoftirqd_CPU0 State: S (sleeping) Tgid: 0 Pid: 3 PPid: 1 TracerPid: 0 Uid: 0 0 0 0 Gid: 0 0 0 0 FDSize: 32 Groups: SigPnd: 0000000000000000 SigBlk: ffffffffffffffff SigIgn: 0000000000000000 SigCgt: 0000000000000000 CapInh: 0000000000000000 CapPrm: 00000000ffffffff CapEff: 00000000fffffeff |
You can also look at the processes involved in the pstree:
$ pstree -p |grep '([34567])'
|-bdflush(6)
|-ksoftirqd_CPU0(3)
|-ksoftirqd_CPU1(4)
|-kswapd(5)
|-kupdated(7)
