Some common techniques used to evade antivirus software include packing or encrypting the malware code to make it more difficult for antivirus programs to detect. Attackers can also use code obfuscation techniques to make the malware appear as harmless or legitimate software. By regularly updating the malware with new variants and utilizing zero-day vulnerabilities, attackers can increase the chances of evading antivirus detection.
