I have older ASUS notebook with Debian 11 installation. If I run OS and especially when plug in network wire, then I got performance issues. I did advances memory test with Memtest86+, without any errors.
Then I created kali-linux live usb to perform some health checks. If I run
┌──(kali㉿kali)-[~]
└─$ sudo rkhunter -c
or:
sudo mkdir /mnt/temp
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/temp
┌──(kali㉿kali)-[/mnt/temp]
└─$ sudo rkhunter -c
I got the summary:
System checks summary
=====================
File properties checks...
Files checked: 145
Suspect files: 117
Rootkit checks...
Rootkits checked : 497
Possible rootkits: 6
Applications checks...
All checks skipped
The system checks took: 11 minutes and 43 seconds
All results have been written to the log file: /var/log/rkhunter.log
One or more warnings have been found while checking the system.
Please check the log file (/var/log/rkhunter.log)
Are those false positive scans? Got the same results after sudo rkhunter --propupd. Does the result belongs only to kali, how to run proper check for /dev/sda?
