How can malware be disguised as legitimate software?
Malware can be disguised as legitimate software through techniques such as code obfuscation, which makes the malicious code difficult to detect, and using legitimate software installers or update mechanisms to distribute the malware. Additionally, attackers may use social engineering tactics to trick users into downloading and installing the malware unknowingly.
To disguise malware as legitimate software, you can embed the malicious code within a popular software package and distribute it through third-party download sites. This way, unsuspecting users will download and install the malware along with the legitimate software without realizing it.
