Which of the following is not an effective rootkit countermeasure?
Use only fibre-optic cabling in networks, not coaxial cabling. As fibre-optic cables use pulses of light to transmit data, they make it more difficult for rootkits to penetrate a network.
Use a strict password policy. Complex and frequently changed passwords make it more difficult for a rootkit to attack an admin account via password cracking.
Use MD5 checksums. They can verify file integrity, therefore they can often detect rootkits.
Implement frequently patched antivirus shields. Antivirus signatures can sometimes detect rootkits.
Proper password policies, updated antivirus shields, and MD5 checksums can all help mitigate the risk of rootkits.
