What are some common techniques used to hide malware in legitimate-looking files?

### REPLY:
One common technique to hide malware in legitimate-looking files is through file extension spoofing. By changing the file extension to a commonly used one, such as .doc or .pdf, the malware can appear harmless. Another technique is using file binders, which combine the malware with a legitimate file, making it difficult to detect. Additionally, encryption and steganography can be used to hide the malicious code within the file itself, making it hard to identify.
