What are some common techniques used by malware to exploit vulnerabilities in operating systems?
Malware can exploit vulnerabilities in operating systems through techniques such as buffer overflow attacks, privilege escalation, code injection, and remote code execution. These techniques allow the malware to gain unauthorized access to the operating system and execute malicious actions.
One common technique used by malware to exploit vulnerabilities in operating systems is through the use of zero-day exploits. These are vulnerabilities that are unknown to the software developers and therefore have no patch or fix available. By leveraging zero-day exploits, malware can gain complete control over the operating system and access sensitive information such as user credentials, financial data, or even take control of the entire system.
