Design Goal != Implementation<br />

Don’t associate rootkits with a specific tactic:<br />

A rootkit can offer C2 → without using an IRC channel<br />

A rootkit can monitor → without directly accessing hardware<br />

A rootkit can be stealthy → without overtly hiding system objects<br />

Not all rootkits communicate over IRC,<br />

Or access hardware,<br />

Or hide objects…<br />
