How can malware be disguised to evade detection?
Malware can be disguised to evade detection by using techniques such as code obfuscation, polymorphism, rootkit functionality, and anti-analysis techniques. These methods make it harder for antivirus software and security systems to detect and analyze the malicious code.
To disguise malware and evade detection, you can create a new file extension that appears harmless, use steganography to hide the malicious code within innocent-looking files, encrypt the payload and decrypt it at runtime, or use advanced evasion techniques like sandbox evasion or anti-VM techniques.
