rkhunter for Mac

rkhunter is a security checking tool that runs on Linux systems, often called the "Rootkit Hunter." Through a series of local checks, it helps detect possible rootkits, backdoors, and other suspicious modifications on the system, such as replaced system commands, abnormal file attributes, or traces of hidden processes. For administrators who need to maintain server security, it is suitable as part of routine inspections, supplementing areas that antivirus software and intrusion detection systems cannot cover. It is operated from the command line, and results are presented as a report for further investigation. It cannot replace a complete security protection system, but it provides a lightweight and direct means of checking that helps identify abnormal signs as early as possible.
