    Hi Mark,
    
    I would recommend using SuCKIT (http://sd.is.agent.fbi.cz/suckit) or Adore
    (http://teso.scene.at/releases/adore-0.42.tgz). Both are kernel module
    based trojans. SuCKIT is particularly interesting in that it works on
    systems which do not have kernel module support built in.
    
    I'm a student at PSU, if you'd ever like some volunteer help with compsec
    related courses, I have quite a lot of experience and would love to help.
    
    cheers,
    --jared
