4. Worms: Worms are a type of malware that are designed to self-replicate and spread across networks and systems. Unlike viruses, which attach themselves to other files, worms typically use network vulnerabilities to spread from one system to another.
5. Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs): PUPs are a type of software that are typically installed along with other software and can be difficult to remove. They may contain adware, spyware, or other malicious code, and can slow down the victim's system and compromise privacy.
6. Fileless Virus: A fileless virus is a type of malware that runs entirely in memory and does not create any permanent files on the victim's system. This makes it difficult to detect and remove, as traditional antivirus software typically looks for malware on disk.
7. Command and Control: Command and control (C2) refers to the infrastructure used by attackers to control and manage a network of infected systems, known as a botnet. The C2 server typically sends commands to the bots, which carry out the attacker's commands.
8. Bots: Bots are software programs that run autonomously and carry out tasks on behalf of their operators. In the context of cybersecurity, bots are often used by attackers to build and manage botnets, launch attacks, and automate other malicious activities.
9. Cryptomalware: Cryptomalware is a type of malware that encrypts the victim's files and demands a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key. This type of malware typically uses cryptography to encrypt the files, making it difficult to recover the data without paying the ransom.
10. Logic Bombs: A logic bomb is a type of malware that is designed to trigger when a certain condition is met. For example, a logic bomb may be programmed to delete all of the victim's files after a certain date.
11. Spyware: Spyware is a type of malware that is designed to collect sensitive information from the victim's system, such as passwords, financial information, and browsing history. This information is then typically sent back to the attacker for use in further attacks or for financial gain.
12. Keyloggers: A keylogger is a type of malware that records all of the keystrokes on the victim's system, including passwords, credit card numbers, and other sensitive information.
13. Remote Access Trojan (RAT): A RAT is a type of Trojan that provides remote access to the victim's system, allowing the attacker to control the system and steal sensitive information.
14. Rootkit: A rootkit is a type of malware that is designed to hide itself and other malicious software on the victim's system, making it difficult to detect and remove. Rootkits can provide a backdoor for attackers to access the system, even if the malware has been detected and removed.
