What are some common evasion techniques used by malware?

### REPLY:
Malware often employs various evasion techniques to avoid detection by security software. Some common techniques include using code obfuscation to make the malware's code difficult to analyze, employing polymorphism to generate new variants of the malware with each infection, using rootkit techniques to hide the malware's presence on the system, and utilizing anti-emulation techniques to evade sandbox environments used for malware analysis. By employing these evasion techniques, malware can remain undetected for longer periods, increasing its chances of successfully compromising a system.
