This command is used to list the available rootkit checks that can be performed by the rkhunter (Rootkit Hunter) tool with root privileges.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• sudo: This is a command that allows you to execute another command as a superuser or root. It prompts you to enter your password to confirm your authorization.

• rkhunter: This is the main command that runs the rkhunter tool. rkhunter is a security scanning tool for Linux systems that searches for known rootkits, malware, and other potentially malicious software.

• --list: This is an option or argument passed to the rkhunter command. It instructs rkhunter to output a list of available rootkit checks or tests. The rootkit checks refer to the various methods or techniques that rkhunter employs to detect rootkits or other malicious software on a system.

By running the sudo rkhunter --list command, you can view a list of the rootkit checks available in rkhunter, which can be useful for understanding which checks are being performed during a security scan or for configuration purposes.
