A curated list of links to rootkit projects and resources found on GitHub and other sites, covering Linux, Windows, BSD, and Android rootkits. It serves as a reference collection for security researchers and red teamers rather than a tool itself.

Use cases

• find open-source rootkit source code for research
• study rootkit techniques across operating systems
• build a red team toolkit reference
• learn how kernel and userland rootkits work
• collect samples for malware analysis
• research LD_PRELOAD and kernel rootkit implementations

When to choose

• you need a comprehensive index of publicly available rootkit projects
• you are doing offensive security research or malware analysis
• you want examples of rootkits for Linux, Windows, BSD, or Android

When to avoid

• you need a defensive rootkit detection tool
• you want maintained, production-ready software rather than a link list
• you need a rootkit scanner for incident response
