A rootkit is a type of malicious software (malware) that is designed to gain unauthorized access to a computer or other device, often at the root or administrator level. Rootkits are typically used by attackers to remotely control a device, monitor its activity, and steal sensitive information. They can be difficult to detect and remove because they often operate at a low level in the system and can hide their presence from the operating system and other security software.

Rootkits can be installed on a device in a number of ways, including through security vulnerabilities, social engineering tactics (such as phishing emails), or by being bundled with other software. Once installed, they can be used to perform a variety of malicious activities, such as keylogging, screen capture, and network traffic interception.

It is important to protect devices against rootkits by keeping security software up to date, being cautious when downloading and installing software, and avoiding suspicious websites and emails.
