About the project 

In 2006 the Rootkit Hunter initial developer M. Boelen handed over development. The development team, comprising of two developers, has been releasing Rootkit Hunter since version 1.2.9. The rkhunter [dot] sourceforge [dot] net website is the official home for the Rootkit Hunter project.

This page was updated on 1519086688 for Rootkit Hunter release 1.4.6. If the grey color scheme and ruler overkill don't remind you of NCSA Mosaic  then I don't know what will.
