# Generating a new Rootkit **Let's start from the beginning: What is a Rootkit?** A rootkit is a type of malicious software designed to gain unauthorised access to a computer system while hiding its presence or the presence of other malware. Once installed, a rootkit can operate at various levels: user mode, kernel mode, or even firmware, making it especially difficult to detect and remove. Rootkits often manipulate system processes, drivers, or kernel functions to conceal their activity. This allows attackers to maintain persistent access, bypass security controls, and quietly exfiltrate data or escalate privileges. **Let's generate a new rootkit with Kernel Pack:** {% embed url="" %} Go to "Remote Control" → "Rootkit Wizard (driver)". Carefully read the disclaimer that appears. Then, click either "Decline" or "I Accept". If you click "I Accept", a new window will open. From there, select your desired options for the rootkit, generate and save it. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://exploit-pack.gitbook.io/exploit-pack-manual-pages/kernel-pack/generating-a-new-rootkit.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
