What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common technique to distribute malware is through exploit kits, which are malicious toolkits that exploit vulnerabilities in software to install malware on a user's system. Another method is to create a botnet, a network of infected computers, and use it to distribute malware to other vulnerable systems. Additionally, attackers may use malicious ads or malvertising to spread malware through legitimate websites, often without the user's knowledge or consent.
