💖 unhide.rb 💖

section 8 of the manual, bestie — the finder of hidden processes 🕵️‍♀️✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

unhide.rb — okay so basically it scans your system for hidden processes and lists any hits on stderr. That's the whole vibe. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

unhide.rb

That's it. No args. No flags. Just run it and let it cook. 🔥

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what it does: it scans the system for hidden processes. Periodt.

Progress messages get printed on stdout, so if you literally don't care and want the play-by-play out of your face, you can redirect them to /dev/null. No judgement. 🙈

Error diagnostics — and any info about hidden processes it found — go to stderr. So the receipts come out on a different channel than the running commentary. iykyk. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • none — literally. unhide.rb takes no options. Not one. She needs no tweaking, she just is. 💅

🌈 EXIT STATUS 🌈

  • 0 — No hidden processes found. Clean. Immaculate. ✨
  • 1 — Something went wrong during scanning. 😭 Not the vibe.
  • 2 — One or more hidden processes were detected. 🚨 main character energy, but make it alarming.

🍓 NOTES 🍓

unhide.rb is a Ruby port of unhide. When it was first written, the Ruby port was about 10x faster than the original C program and had much better diagnostics when hidden processes were found. Not me flexing, but like… she ate. 💅🔥

The original unhide program can be found at <http://www.unhide-forensics.info/>. Respect the ancestors. 🫶
