How do I clean a Rootkit from my server?

If your server has been compromised, it may be that a Rootkit has been installed on your machine which has taken over control of certain services.

To identify Rootkit, please download the RKHunter application from the Downloads centre, and follow the Readme file contained within the tar archive.

From here, please ensure your root password is changed to a highly secure random string, and that your OS and services are up to date. Try our random password generator if you need help with a new root password.
