A rootkit running in user mode intercepts the API calls between the time when the API retrieves the data and when it is displayed in a window.

It can prevent Task Manager from displaying the running rootkit process, or might cause Task Manager to display a different name for this process. The program filename might not be displayed in Windows Explorer, the rootkit's registry keys might be hidden from the Registry Editor, or the Registry Editor might display incorrect information.

Difference between kernel mode and user mode?

Kernel ModeIn Kernel mode, the executing code has complete and unrestricted access to the underlying hardware. It can execute any CPU instruction and reference any memory address. Kernel mode is generally reserved for the lowest-level, most trusted functions of the operating system. Crashes in kernel mode are catastrophic; they will halt the entire PC.User ModeIn User mode, the executing code has no ability to directly access hardware or reference memory. Code running in user mode must delegate to system APIs to access hardware or memory. Due to the protection afforded by this sort of isolation, crashes in user mode are always recoverable. Most of the code running on your computer will execute in user mode.

What are the four types of Rootkit?

The four types of rootkits are: User-mode Rootkits: These operate at the application layer, modifying user-level applications and system calls to hide malicious activities. Kernel-mode Rootkits: These have deeper system access, modifying the operating system's kernel to hide their presence and manipulate system operations. Bootkits: These target the system's boot process, infecting the bootloader to gain control before the operating system loads. Firmware Rootkits: These reside in firmware, such as BIOS or UEFI, allowing them to maintain persistence and control over the hardware, even after the operating system is reinstalled.
