MD5 check fails on fedora core 3 file
by fedo2 - Sep 20th 2005 00:58:20
Hi,
I have a Server with Fedora Core 3. Recently i updated the
e2fsprogs-1.38-0.FC3.1 rpm package and then, Rkhunter returns a MD5 error
in /usr/bin/lsattr file, which is included in that package. It's a false
negative?
Thanks.
Here is the rkhunter 1.27 log:

strange update issue.
by pr4shant - May 23rd 2005 05:19:45
Hey
A very strange issue here, I've tried to update rootkit hunter from 1.2.5
to 1.2.6.
Now after update, when I try rkhunter --update, I get this:
Mirrorfile /usr/local/rkhunter/lib/rkhunter/db/mirrors.dat rotated
Using mirror http://mirror11.mirror.rkhunter.org
[DB] Mirror file : Up to date
[DB] MD5 hashes system binaries : Update available
Action: Database updated (current version: 2005050600, new version
2005051900)
[DB] Operating System information : Update available
Action: Database updated (current version: 2005050700, new version
2005052200)
[DB] MD5 blacklisted tools/binaries : Up to date
[DB] Known good program versions : Up to date
[DB] Known bad program versions : Up to date
But if I try rkhunter --update again, I get the same message, seems like
the MD5 hashes system binaries db and Operating System information db are
not getting updated.
MD5 hashes db is always showing 2005050600 as current version although the
latest is quite high but doesn't seem to be getting updated.
Sames goes, with OS information, current version is 2005050700 and new
version is 2005052200, but not getting updated.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Prashant

Re: message by V.1.1.4
by A.Bune - Mar 29th 2005 06:26:55
here is what FAQ says
http://www.rootkit.nl/articles/rootkit_hunter_faq.html
8. Q: Although Rootkit Hunter tells me my binaries do have the correct
hashes (=OK), the logfile shows a lot of incorrect items. How is that
possible?
A: Because the main program is a shell script, a lot of small utilities
are used to read the database (in fact a CSV-alike file). The output you
see in the logfile is debug information and contains of a lot of extra
information. Because every line of the hash database will be read and
compared with the real hash of the binary, it will have some good and bad
hashes for one single binary (because the multiple versions of a single
binary). Every line will be available in the logfile too, so if a hash
DOESN'T match with the binary, it will log this too. If ONE of the multiple
hashes match, you don't have to worry about the 'failed' lines.

Works Quite Well - Really Cool!!!
by inky7836 - Aug 1st 2004 08:53:34
This is well written, works very well, simple to use, load and setup, and
really gives one a sense of comfort to see all of the checks come up OK. I
had some SSH problems and had no idea until I ran this great program. Some
folks using SuSE set it up with a cron job to run the checks each day. I
highly recommend this app.

Cool!
by Jason Wallwork - Apr 27th 2004 18:55:03
This is handy app and is simple to install and use. No
compiling is needed. I disagree with a previous
commenter who said it'd be better if it only stated
problems found. I get a lot of comfort from seeing
those [OK]'s.

Really great program
by Gooserider - Apr 4th 2004 22:37:35
A very nice program, it appears to do exactly what it says, and I feel it
provides useful reassurance that a system hasn't been compromised.
The only minor nits are:
1. It would be nice if there was a summary at the end saying just what
problems (if any) or that no problems had been found rather than having to
scan back through the output. A really slick setup might classify the
severity of the problems and spit out a chunk of text suggesting how
'scared' you should be and what should be done for each level of problem
found.
2. Something that only RMS and friends would care about, is that the
standard output of the program (rkhunter -c) doesn't spit out any info
about the program being GPL'd, w/o warrantee, etc. Neither do the help or
version screens. I could be wrong but my interpretation of the GPL is that
it's supposed to. (There is a copy of the GPL "LICENCE" file in
the install package) This isn't a big deal to me, but some folks might
care.

> ./installer.sh: ~/.rkhunter.log: cannot

Solution: in solaris ~root does not make sense, so writing in the
~/.rkhunter.log file was impossible.
I replaced it by /tmp/.rkhunter.log in the installer.sh script and
everything works fine now
