Upon entering the command Rkhunter --update in my Kali Linux distribution.
The result is as follows



[ Rootkit Hunter version 1.4.6 ]

Checking Rkhunter data files...

Checking file mirrors.dat [ No update ]

Checking file programs_bad.dat [ No update ]

Checking file backdoorports.dat [ No update ]

Checking file suspscan.dat [ No update ]

Checking file i18n/cn [ Skipped ]

Checking file i18n/de [ Skipped ]

Checking file i18n/en [ No update ]

Checking file i18n/tr [ Skipped ]

Checking file i18n/tr.utf8 [ Skipped ]

Checking file i18n/zh [ Skipped ]

Checking file i18n/zh.utf8 [ Skipped ]

Checking file i18n/ja [ Skipped ]


Doing the update it always skips checking some files.
Is this behaviour normal for Rkhunter or some configuration problem has occurred?



My distro is Kali Linux 4.15.0-kali3-amd64

The i18n/* files are just for localization purposes, so they are not essential for core program functionality. The output you've posted suggests you already have the English strings.



Side note #1: You shouldn't be running rkhunter --update as it is a security risk: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=765895 Install rkhunter via apt and let your package manager take care of keeping the utility updated.



Side note #2: rkhunter can generate a lot of false positives, so be prepared for that.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
