Run an application in stealth mode

[manoj96067]

Hi,

I want to make a daemon-like application for Linux platform. How to make that application to run in stealth mode?

I really appreciate any help, workaround or code snippet.

Thanks & Regards,
Manoj Kumar

Would you like to define stealth mode

If by stealth you mean that it doesn't show up with the ps, top, or other runtime commands to see what is running on the system, then you will have to write a kernel module for that. However, it will still show up with the modprobe command.

Hiding applications is not normally good practice. After all, that's how keylogger and backdoor programs work. Personally, I don't think it would be a good idea for people on this forum to help you do that since we have no way to guage your intention. If you are determined to do this, and you have valid (legal) reasons to do so, then I suggest going to some of the Linux security application and system sites for more information.
