What are the common methods used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common method to distribute malware is through the use of exploit kits, which are toolkits that contain pre-written code to exploit vulnerabilities in software. These kits can be purchased on the dark web and used to distribute malware via infected websites. Additionally, hackers may also use botnets to distribute malware by infecting a large number of computers and then using them to spread the malicious software to other systems.
