What are some common techniques used in malware propagation?
Malware propagation techniques include email phishing, social engineering, drive-by downloads, malicious advertisements, and exploit kits. These techniques exploit vulnerabilities in systems or trick users into downloading or executing malicious files.
One common technique used in malware propagation is through the use of zero-day exploits, which are vulnerabilities that are unknown to the software vendor. These exploits can be highly effective in infecting systems as they take advantage of unpatched vulnerabilities. Another technique involves using botnets to distribute malware, where a network of compromised computers is used to carry out coordinated attacks.
