Irreversible installation and running processes (root kits)

[daflowjoe]

Hey guys,


i am thinking about developing an anti procrastination software, which is impossible to disable or to delete. ;-) So i thought about how I could do this.
The only thing i considered are rootkits. But my knowledge about rootkits istn that deep.
Do you guys have any ideas how to somewhat?
My primary questions are:
Are rootkits reversible for the rootkit it self, so that deinstallation is just possible with the permission of the rootkit?
Are there rootkits that are not deletable for the admin even if he know how it works?
Which rootkits are simple to implement and will fit for this problem?
Are there any other ways to do this?


Best regards

Since you're trying to develop this, I shall move this thread to Projects and discussion.

You can never make something which is impossible to remove if it was put there via software.  If it was put into the hardware you can manually remove it yourself.... basically you won't be able to make something which you can never uninstall.

Rootkits are a very advanced type of mallware. To get the closest to the result of a rootkit who "can't" be removed you would want to have total(root) control of everything, thus infecting something like the bootloader. Go learn the basics first my friend
