Quick Security Scan For WHM version 11.28
This feature disables operating system-level services that are not necessary for your web server.
The services that will be disabled are:
* portmap — Maps network drives.
* atd — The “at” daemon, similar to cron jobs.
* cups — Used for printing.
* Console mouse services — Provides Linux mouse support.
* xfs — X font server; allows a server running the X Window System to communicate with a font renderer.
* NIS — Network information service.
* NFS statd — Used for network file system (NFS) mounting.
* RPC idmapd — Used for running an NFS server.
Note: A [FAILED] error message means that the service was not running when the scanner attempted to turn it off. This service will still be prevented from starting in the future.

Rootkit detection
Criminals (also known as hackers) want to hide their actions, but using rootkit detection you can be notified when they (or trojans, viruses, etc) change your system in this way.
Active response
Take immediate and automatic responses when something happens. Why wait for hours when you can alert your admin and block an attack right way?
How To Scan the System
RootCheck. is an extremely useful open source software for servers since it scans the server and finds any problems on it.
