What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One effective technique to distribute malware is through the use of exploit kits. These kits contain pre-written code that can exploit vulnerabilities in a user's system, allowing the malware to be downloaded and installed without their knowledge. Another method is to disguise the malware as a legitimate software update or a desirable file, tricking users into willingly downloading and executing the malicious code.
