“A set of software tools frequently used by a third party (usually an intruder) after gaining access to a computer system. These tools are intended to conceal running processes, files or system data, which helps an intruder maintain access to a system without the user’s knowledge. Root kits are known to exist for a variety of operating systems such as Linux, Solaris and versions of Microsoft Windows.”

So they are NOT something you really want on your system!
