### REPLY:
There are various methods used to exploit software vulnerabilities and deliver malware. One common technique is to exploit known vulnerabilities in outdated software versions that have not been patched. Attackers can also use zero-day vulnerabilities, which are previously unknown vulnerabilities, to gain unauthorized access to a system. They can exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code or inject malicious payloads. Other methods include using buffer overflow attacks, SQL injections, or cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks to compromise vulnerable software and deliver malware.
