How can malware be disguised to avoid detection by antivirus software?
Malware can be disguised by using obfuscation techniques such as code encryption, packing, or polymorphism. These techniques modify the code or the structure of the malware in a way that makes it difficult for antivirus software to detect and analyze.
One way to disguise malware and avoid detection by antivirus software is by using a technique called "rootkit". A rootkit is a collection of malicious tools and software that allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access and control over a computer system. By using a rootkit, an attacker can hide malicious files, processes, and network connections, making it extremely difficult for antivirus software to detect the presence of malware.
