root kits
Rootkits are used by hackers to hide intrusions into a computer. Rootkits are often used to obtain administrator privileges to the system and to other machines on the network so that they can spread malware, track keystrokes or open a backdoor into the system. Because of their stealthy nature, rootkit detection is difficult.
