What are some techniques used to hide malware within legitimate files?

### REPLY:
One technique to hide malware within legitimate files is to use steganography, where the malware is embedded within the pixels of an image or the data of an audio or video file. Another method is to use file binders, which can combine the malware with a legitimate file, making it appear harmless. Additionally, polymorphic malware can change its code structure to evade detection by antivirus software, making it difficult to identify the malicious file.
