Takeaways

• 🦠 Malware refers to any software intentionally designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to computer systems.
• 🦠 A computer virus replicates itself by modifying other programs and inserting its own code, causing system failures and data corruption.
• 🐍 Unlike viruses, worms are standalone programs that replicate themselves across networks, consuming bandwidth and potentially causing harm.
• 🕵️‍♂️ Trojans disguise themselves as legitimate programs and rely on social engineering to mislead users into executing them.
• 💻 Malvertising uses reputable websites to spread malware without user interaction, compromising computers without direct action.
• 🔑 RATs (Remote Access Trojans) allow hackers to control a computer remotely, often used for spying or data theft.
• 🚪 Backdoors enable unauthorized access to systems, allowing cybercriminals to steal data and install additional malware.
• 🛡️ Rootkits provide remote access to computers and can be difficult to detect, often disabling antivirus software.
• 🕵️‍♀️ Spyware secretly collects personal information from users, including browsing habits and payment details.
• 💰 Ransomware blocks access to data, demanding payment for restoration, with some variants designed to be undetectable.
• 📈 Cryptojacking exploits a computer's resources to mine cryptocurrencies without the user's consent, slowing down the system.
• 🔒 Phishing scams trick users into revealing sensitive information or installing malware by impersonating legitimate entities.

Q & A

What is malware?

Malware is any software intentionally designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to computer systems or data.

How does a computer virus replicate?

A computer virus replicates by modifying other programs and inserting its own code, causing the affected areas to become infected when the host program is executed.

What distinguishes a worm from a virus?

Unlike a virus, a worm is a standalone malware program that spreads itself over networks without needing to attach to a host program.

What is a Trojan horse in the context of malware?

A Trojan horse is malware that misleads users by disguising itself as a legitimate program, often spreading through social engineering tactics.

What is malvertising?

Malvertising involves the use of advertisements on reputable websites to spread malware without requiring user interaction.

What capabilities does a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) provide to a hacker?

A RAT allows hackers to remotely control a computer, accessing its webcam, keystrokes, and other functionalities without the user's knowledge.

How does ransomware affect a victim's data?

Ransomware blocks access to personal data and systems, typically requiring payment to regain access; more advanced variants may use cryptovirology to avoid detection.

What role does a backdoor play in malware attacks?

A backdoor provides unauthorized users with a way to bypass normal security measures, allowing cybercriminals to steal data or install additional malware.

What is spyware, and how does it operate?

Spyware is malware that secretly gathers information about a user, including browsing habits and personal data, which is then sent to cybercriminals.

What is a brute-force attack?

A brute-force attack involves systematically guessing passwords or passphrases until the correct one is found, often using automated software.
