Unhide is a little handy forensic tool to find hidden processes and TCP/UDP ports by rootkits / LKMs or by another hidden technique. This tool works under Linux, Unix-like system, and MS-Windows operating systems. From the man page:
Most rootkits/malware use the power of the kernel to hide, they are only visible from within the kernel. You can use unhide or tool such as rkhunter to scan for rootkits, backdoors, and possible local exploits.
This page describes how to install unhide and search for hidden process and TCP/UDP ports.

If you are using a Fedora Linux, type the following dnf command:
OR, you can install the same using the binary package with help of pkg command:
unhide-tcp is a forensic tool that identifies TCP/UDP ports that are listening but are not listed in /bin/netstat or /bin/ss command through brute forcing of all TCP/UDP ports available.

Unhide is a little handy forensic tool to find hidden processes and TCP/UDP ports by rootkits / LKMs or by another hidden technique. This tool works under Linux, Unix-like system, and MS-Windows operating systems. From the man page:
It detects hidden processes using three techniques:
- The proc technique consists of comparing /proc with the output of /bin/ps.
- The sys technique consists of comparing information gathered from /bin/ps with information gathered from system calls.
- The brute technique consists of bruteforcing the all process IDs. This technique is only available on Linux 2.6 kernels.

How to use unhide-tcp forensic tool that identifies TCP/UDP ports
From the man page:unhide-tcp is a forensic tool that identifies TCP/UDP ports that are listening but are not listed by /sbin/ss (or alternatively by /bin/netstat) through brute forcing of all TCP/UDP ports available.
Note1 : On FreeBSD ans OpenBSD, netstat is allways used as iproute2 doesn’t exist on these OS. In addition, on FreeBSD, sockstat is used instead of fuser.
Note2 : If iproute2 is not available on the system, option -n or -s SHOULD be given on the command line.
