RootkitBuster by Trend Micro

Really cool tool for a Rootkit analysis.

Pros:
* Very simple UI - One click Scan - by default all options enabled.
* Really fast.
* Free.
* Neat Reporting. [ Download HERE ]

Cons:
* Simple enough to make us think, what is it really looking for? What is going on in the backend analysis/scan?

Though this tool was released way before, we wanted to compare the existing rootkit analysis tools features, pros & cons. Since features would already be listed in official tool's website, we release the pros and cons that we identify while using the tool.
