| − | * [http://pikewerks.com/sl/ Second Look] from [http://www.pikewerks.com Pikewerks Corporation] can analyze live memory or stored snapshots (physical memory images). It can be used to detect rootkits and other kernel-hooking malware, as well as obtain forensic information about the state of the system. It has command-line and GUI interfaces, and reverse engineering capabilities including built-in disassembly and hexadecimal data views. An online reference kernel repository provides baselines for verification of thousands of distribution stock kernels. As of November 2010, it supports x86 and x86_64 targets running kernels 2.6.8 to 2.6.35. (Availability/License: commercial)
