Which of the following describe a type of rootkit?
Program used for privilege escalation attacks
Program used to gain 'root' privileges on a machine
Program that modifies the core of OS (kernel and libraries)
None of these
Rootkits are programs that modify the core of the OS. Rootkits typically don't have their own collection of tools for providing the attacker with elevated privileges, but they do require those elevated privileges to already be in place in order to install on a victim's computer. So the attacker has to somehow get elevated (e.g., root or administrator) privileges before a rootkit can be installed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rootkit EDIT: The question is worded badly, as not all rootkits attack the core of the OS. Reworded the question.
