The British version is spelled as ‘Tommy’.
This is the best way to spell the name ‘Tom’ in my opinion.
The definition of this word is:
thomas or Tom is a masculine given name. It is a cognate of the name Thomas, which has spread throughout the western world independently. The name is derived from the Aramaic or Hebrew תאי (T’OMI) meaning “twin”. Its popularity increased after the Protestant Reformation. In Ireland, this spelling is usually rendered as a single name, ‘Tom’. The diminutive form of the name, Tommy, has been a common nickname for boys since perhaps the 18th century. In Scotland and Northern Ireland it is also used as a feminine given name (usually spelled Tam), but in this case referring to St. Thomas More’s daughter.A lot of work in the IT world makes use of rootkits. These are pieces of software that hide their existence from users by manipulating many aspects of a computer’s operating system so they can operate without being discovered.
This software has become more common as the popularity of online gaming and online banking have soared and antivirus solutions have failed to keep up with the increasing sophistication and prevalence of the attacks.
Most antivirus companies are aware that rootkits exist, but cannot tell if a piece of software is infected or not because they only search for binaries that carry specific strings or signatures.
Furthermore, these malicious applications modify tools used by many programs developed by third parties to achieve their own ends.
A general-purpose rootkit is a rootkit that allows an entity to control various aspects of the system it is installed on. These rootkits are able to hide themselves and any software running on top of them.
These so-called stealthy rootkits usually consist of a kernel module and user mode components that can perform almost all standard operations that typical applications can, such as accessing the filesystem or filtering network data. This way, rootkits can be used to monitor and modify data and behavior in the infected system at almost every level of operation.
A common example of a stealthy rootkit is the userland rootkit.
Stealthy rootkits usually carry out their malicious behaviors through a combination of three activities:
These rootkits are generally considered persistent since they require some entry point.
A kernel rootkit is a rootkit that runs in the kernel space of a computer. In this context, the operating system is referred to as the root directory tree.
These are often called drivers, but not all are true drivers. The drivers may be hidden completely or partially in unused areas of memory so they can avoid detection by antivirus software and users alike. A typical technique employed by these rootkits is to hide behind a legitimate driver so they can intercept calls to and from that driver. This way, they can not only hide their existence but also control the access and behavior of the driver. The rootkit itself sits in a position that allows it to intercept direct calls or modify data being passed to and from the driver.
Another possibility is for rootkits to load before the legitimate driver is loaded, then intercept all attempts to load the driver again. This way, they can detect attempts to bypass them or remove them. These rootkits can survive a system reboot by hiding in memory, leaving no rootkit files on the hard disk or other media.
