In theory, there could be build "rootkit" method that could already be implemented to your monitors to send data trough hidden wifi signals or build into custom tailored motherboard or in every single consumer motherboard. And even servers too that would require physically altering the hardware itself that they actually already are doing.

these things are devastating... Im was disabled at a middling age, contracted Guillain-Barre at 32, and it costed me everything. I was an avid PC gamer then, but wasnt able to stay with it with my quite modest disability income.. a little more than year ago, I had decided to set some funds back little by little and finally build me a decent PC, got a GTX 1080, Ryzen 7 3700X, and a 16GB Team Group Xtreem ARGB 3200kit, and about 6 weeks ago, I finally got the last piece of my build purchased, an ASUS Hero VIII mainboard, I was elated... and as it is right now, I no longer have that PC as it was virtually destroyed by a BIOS/ACPI rootkit and I didnt have the funds to get professional services to get in dealt with, Im not certain, but I believe the rootkit originated from the Hero mainboard as I bought it openbox. and through my network in my apartment, it also infected my Android-based TV box... so now Im basically living in the stone ages after all that saving funds ! Nor could I return or get replaced any of the hardware I had purchased as my Amazon, Newegg and Paypal accounts, along with Facebook, Twitter etc, were hijacked from me and Ive yet been unable to recover them.

@Garblehead it doesn't work like that, there is no such thing as VM exploit, sometimes after closing the VM the virus can stay in the RAM and affect your host computer. The best thing is to delete the virtual hard disk created after closing VM and restarting your host machine
If it does not give the attacker kernel access, it is not a root kit. Your distinction at 1:58 is not a distinction between 2 types of root kits, but the distinction between root kit and not a root kit. Specifically a root kit is a set of software or hardware components that allow you to run arbitrary code as the root user (or in the windows world, as the system user). That necessarily gives you the attacker authority to modify kernel code running on the system. Also i'm disappointed you didn't mention infected USB as part of this video. Focusing on downloads only does the community a disservice.
Celestial Cereal In most cases, if it downloaded (but didn't install) (let's say it was a drive-by download) to a non-admin account, wouldn't it need permission to install and access the kernel though? Wouldn't it be just like how a driver would need permission to download? I'm specifically asking about if there are no previous malware to use as an exploit, like a keylogger program that it could read, could there still be an exploit it could use? Oh, don't feel bad I'm only in my second semester (where the actual core programs begin). I've got a long way to go before I'm an official geek.
Celestial Cereal Thank you for answering my questions. I didn't know that some Intel CPU's have backdoors. By the way you worded it I assume it's just Intel, but to be sure I'll ask; does AMD do that to?

t103prototype Th reason I mentioned USB at the end of my initial post is that is probably the easiest way to get code running in kernel mode without prompting UAC on windows. The plug-and-play drivers stored on a USB device are just installed when you plug in the device. So don't plug in USB sticks with an unknown origin. In *nix environments, yes software only has the permissions of the user it is running as, in windows it is a bit more complicated since what is sometimes called the "system user" is a set of execution permissions but technically not a user. A rootkit is a piece of malware that is running as the root user (nix) or with system permissions (windown). On windows, there are a few ways to bypass UAC as a malware developer, but they all require either esoteric setups on the target machine, infected hardware to be plugged into the target system, or exploiting existing software already running with system permissions (note that a service running as the system user can install drivers without prompting UAC and you don't get UAC when installing windows updates). the last of those threee is probably the most common way of infecting a system with a root kit, followed by subverting UAC by getting the user to click through it.

Hey Linus, For You Information, When a person buys a prebuilt Desktop / Laptop from companies like: Hewlett Packard [HP] or Dell you will have to download your computers Device Drives from the Support Page of your exact model of Desktop or Laptop from Hewlett Packard or Dell. Hewlett-Packard: support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/ Dell: www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/?app=drivers
This VDO is being used by my organisation as malware turorial in their learning portal. Not sure if they took your permission . Linus , you can contact me if this infringes any of the copywrite law..
So some actual useful advice: Do a scan with 'RogueKiller by Tigzy' which can often kill currently running rogue processes and unlock them for removal. Then a full scan using 'MalwareBytes AntiMalware'. If this doesn't work, use 'HiJack This' to create a logfile and post its contents in a question on a tech-help forum and see what other experts advise.
A little things to prevent most attacks witch malware: Use NoScript in your Browser! And if you youally want to stay on the safe site, go with Linux (also good for those who want to test a Rootkit themself (Metasploid seams to work really good))

+Damager Guy Ping is simply the amount of time it takes for one computer to send a message to another, and for that 2nd computer to send the message back to the first. It's like saying "hello" to your friend, and them saying "hi" back. If you measure the amount of time it takes for you to say hello and them to respond with hi, then that's ping time on a more human scale.
HitchhikerG3 Your correct it's P2P Game but for Server based Game. In which it Time takes to reach the server. EG: You say hi. It goes to server. Your friend gets the message from the server. But the ping is the time to reach the server instead of your friend.
Dhruv Collins Well, sort of. Ping doesn't go through an external server to get from one place to another (hence why a lot of sysadmins on networks enjoy blocking it), so it still has the same functions (client-client or client-server). If you ping a friend or a server, it'll go directly to them and back, and not through some external server first.
HitchhikerG3 A better Example: You upload a file A to a server. Your friend goes to the server and downloads that file. P2P - You upload the file directly to his computer.

@@FritoTheLay no it isnt safe dont be a fanboy
I love how linus implied Sony were distributing malware 1:45
They were
it sounds like a really helpful tool for Android
ikr
Sounds like an offbrand busybox
@@KSPAtlas it's been 5 years what the hell
This was a good explanation.
Im glad I watched this before downloading Valorant
This is new for me. thanks for the advice
You may not see cheaters in Valorant one day, in exchange your GPU may be hijacked to mine whatevercoin until it sears itself.
So some actual useful advice:
Do a scan with 'RogueKiller by Tigzy' which can often kill currently running rogue processes and unlock them for removal.
Then a full scan using 'MalwareBytes AntiMalware'.
If this doesn't work, use 'HiJack This' to create a logfile and post its contents in a question on a tech-help forum and see what other experts advise.
btw, if you get the Pro version of Mbam and also install their free Anti-Exploit software you may reduce your risk of getting infected.
A little things to prevent most attacks witch malware:
Use NoScript in your Browser!
And if you youally want to stay on the safe site, go with Linux (also good for those who want to test a Rootkit themself (Metasploid seams to work really good))
I'll tell you how to remove RootKits. Backup your very important files and encrypt it. Then scan for Rootkits and throw the old PC and get a new one.
Watching this after Riot games started requiring vanguard for league of legends. Vanguard is basically a rootkit
Anyone know the music producer named Rootkit? That's where I first heard that word
yeah man ambush is a great song.
***** But I loved Concrete Jungle xD
***** But I like deep house...
Yep haha!
Grub: creepy, black, looks complicated
Windows dual-boot loader: BLUE, MODERN
Tencent btw. China btw
if you get kernel rootkit or bootkit on PC/laptop, you should just throw your computer away
I thought this was going to be a video about rooting android phones :P
I dont know what the youtube algorithm thought 8 years later
No one:
Literally No one:
Me watching this video after downloading Valorant..
You just described everyone...
That's why it annoys me whenever people say they've never gotten malware before... it it was well-made malware you wouldn't even know if you had it.
Recommended after watching someordinadygamer's video about Valorant
I FUCKING LOVE DENNIS SO MUCH
Who’s here cos of Doom Eternal?
Nope, Vanguard
(Valorant's anti-cheat system)
Rootkit explained:
Kashif (Rootkit) is a 17 year old producer from Norway. He's a recent addition to the Monstercat family, but is already making waves in the community.
Wow, 360p club.
Thanks for the info skipper
Ping as fast as possible plz !
+Damager Guy Ping is simply the amount of time it takes for one computer to send a message to another, and for that 2nd computer to send the message back to the first. It's like saying "hello" to your friend, and them saying "hi" back. If you measure the amount of time it takes for you to say hello and them to respond with hi, then that's ping time on a more human scale.
HitchhikerG3 Your correct it's P2P Game but for Server based Game. In which it Time takes to reach the server. EG: You say hi. It goes to server. Your friend gets the message from the server. But the ping is the time to reach the server instead of your friend.
+Damager Guy Ha ha.
Dhruv Collins Well, sort of. Ping doesn't go through an external server to get from one place to another (hence why a lot of sysadmins on networks enjoy blocking it), so it still has the same functions (client-client or client-server). If you ping a friend or a server, it'll go directly to them and back, and not through some external server first.
HitchhikerG3 A better Example: You upload a file A to a server. Your friend goes to the server and downloads that file.
P2P - You upload the file directly to his computer.
You're the dude who did the fire truck demo!
internet aids basically
+LinusTechTips +Techquickie this video was uploaded on my birthday.

*Happy Tencent noises*
Soo... basically there’s no way to know if you been rootkit so if I think I have been, then I’m screwed?

You can hear echo. As good as Brandon's makeshift studio is, you guys really need to get a sound-dampened studio.
Hello can you guys make me a pc part list:
1. I want the most powerful gaming beast
2.I dont mind about budget it can go up to 50.000$
3. Plus monitors,gaming set
No
+Mark Andzejevski
1. cpu= 5960x.
2. vid card(s)= 4 gtx titan x
3. Ram = ANY ddr4 ram that is meant to run above 2400mhz.
4. motherboard= asus, asrock, or gigabyte are solid choices.
5. Windows installed storage drive= intel 750 ( pick the size appropriate for your needs).
6. case= whatever you want as long as it supports full sized regular atx boards and has a MININUM of 8 pci expansion slot-support.
7. Monitor= www.amazon.com/BenQ-BL3201PH-Monitor-32-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00O1B5M9I/ref=pd_cp_pc_0#customerReviews .
8. Sound card= Mayflower Electronics Objective 2odac combo unit for around 300 bucks.
9. Speaker set= that you'll have to play around it to find your preference.
10. Headphone/headset = any great pair of headphones with a Antlion modmic attached...or if you MUST get a pre-built headset...= Kingston hyper x cloud.
11. Keyboard and mouse= again..that's just something you'll want to play around with. I love my Logitech 710+ and g600.
12. Operating System= facts are fact regardless of how you slice it. If you're a hardcore gamer and want to ensure everything " just works". You're basically stuck with Windows.

I got a rootkit once from a Bellsouth DSL Install CD and since the PC had to be directly on the DSL modem to initialise it the PC got infected almost instantly by malware that was aware of the rootkit.
