Homework:
Please select one of the proposed assignment, modify it or formulate your own
taking inspiration from the following:

1) [writing assignment]
Write a report about rootkits. You can e.g. focus on a larger scale of rootkits
available and describe techniques they use and specific tasks they perform.
Another possible option could be to focus on a specific subset of rootkits or
whichever other aspect which attracted you in this topic. 

2) [writing assignment]
Let's imagine that you are a system administrator in a medium-sized software
company running on windows infrastructure (employees' devices + network
infrastructure). Try to find as many possible threats your company is prone to
concerning windows rootkits and discuss which mechanisms and countermeasures
would you introduce in order get rid of them. Do you think that incorporation of
your proposed solutions would completely mitigate the risk of presence of a
rootkit in your infrastructure?

3) [code-analysis/programming assignment]
Analyze a specific aspect of some existing rootkit from technical perspective
(e.g. how the rootkit makes itself invisible). Discuss how the rootkit operates
from technical perspective and provide corresponding code listings or other
relevant data (e.g. screens, logs, dumps, etc.) proving your technical
understanding. An alternative option could be to create a simple program
demonstrating some essential capability of rootkits (e.g. hiding itself from
filesystem, table of running process, etc.).

Note:
Feel free to be creative. The only requirement is that your report should
reflect proper understanding of rootkits' concepts, their operation and possible
applications.
