Subject: how to hide files,	services and process

There are a lot of papers and examples on how to hide processes, registry keys, etc in Windows NT based systems. The problem comes when you are trying to hide these things from programs such as icesword which are specifically designed to detect hidden things by using low level calls instead of using the windows API. If anyone knows any good papers or examples on how to keep things hidden from these ?rootkit? detectors (which is what hxdef golden claims to do) I would be interested as well. I am doing some research comparing rootkits, rootkit detectors and anti-rootkit detections techniques.
