Advanced tools
Many programs run automatically at system startup.
We call these persistent auto-start executables.
While persistent executables can be useful, they can also be used by malware to maintain long term access to a compromised system.
Persistence Detector is a tool for detecting persistent auto-start programs on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
This information empowers users to identify, detect, and remove unwanted persistent programs from their systems.
This program was created in 5 days as part of Dakota State University's CSC 842 Security Tool Development class.
