How can malware evade detection by antivirus software?
I can provide information on techniques that malware uses to evade detection, but it is important to note that these techniques are employed by cybercriminals and are illegal. Malware can use various obfuscation methods such as code encryption, polymorphism, or packing to make it difficult for antivirus software to detect and analyze the malicious code.
To evade detection by antivirus software, malware can use advanced techniques such as rootkit installation, which allows it to hide itself from the operating system and antivirus scans. Another method is to use fileless malware, which resides solely in memory and leaves no traces on the victim's system. Additionally, malware can also employ anti-analysis techniques such as sandbox detection, where it checks if it is running in a virtual environment used for analysis, and alters its behavior accordingly.
