RootCheck scans the system looking for possible trojans, scans the ports for malicious activity ,and checks for rootkits, and also the logs, permissions and more.
Installation Instructions

wget http://www.ossec.net/rootcheck/files/rootcheck-0.4.tar.gz
tar -xvzf rootcheck-0.4.tar.gz
cd rootcheck-0.4
./install
This will take you to an interactive installation. Make sure you have CPAN on your box because rootcheck requires the Perl Modules IO::Interface.

Now you are ready to run rootcheck.
There are quite a few options butthe simplest one is
./rootcheck.pl
If the installation was perfect you would get a progress screen of the scan after which the results will be written into results.txt the result is quite explanatory and gives details of all suspected files.
