What are some common techniques used in malware propagation?
Malware propagation techniques often involve exploiting vulnerabilities in operating systems or software, social engineering techniques like phishing emails, malicious attachments or links, drive-by downloads, and exploiting security flaws in network protocols.
One common technique used in malware propagation is to exploit zero-day vulnerabilities, which are unknown vulnerabilities in software that have not yet been patched. Another technique is to create botnets, which are networks of infected computers controlled by a central command and control server. These botnets can be used to distribute malware to a large number of computers simultaneously. Additionally, malware authors may use spam emails with malicious attachments or links to infect unsuspecting users' systems.
