9 types of malware + Learn about viruses, be careful and take necessary steps
When there is full knowledge about malware, you can easily guess what it is trying to do and how to attack. Of course, you can stay safe by taking necessary steps. And the features of these malware and viruses are the most common:
1.Backdoor:
=> It is a harmful code that installs itself on the computer and allows full access to hackers. Backdoors generally allow hackers to access local systems without having to verify or verify any type of hacker.
2.Botnet:
=> It works just like backdoors (the attacker accesses the system), but the difference is that computers infected by the same botnet get instructions from the same hacker from the C & C server.
3.Downloader:
=> This is a type of malicious code that only downloads many more malicious codes. The downloader program is downloaded after downloading additional malware codes.
4.Information Thieves:
=> It collects data from a Victim computer and tries to attack the attacker. Example:
- Sniffers,
- Password Hash Grabbers,
- Keyloggers
These malware usually help to gain access to accounts like email or online banking.
5.Launcher:
=> This is a type of malicious program used to run other malware programs. Typically, launchers use non-traditional methods to steal the system or ensure large access to it safely.
6.Rootkit:
=> Matching the existence of other code is a combination of this harmful code. Rootkit is usually associated with others, (such as a backdoor), allowing the attacker to have remote access, as well as making the code difficult to detect.
7.Scareware:
=> It is designed to scare the attacked user horribly. And it has a user interface so that it looks like antivirus or other security program. It also shows that the only way to get rid of it is to buy "software". Actually it does nothing but delete scareware.
8.Spam-sender:
=> It attacks a user's machine and then uses that machine to "send spam". By sending this spam, attackers earn, because they run different spam-sending services.
9.Worm:
=> It is a harmful code that can copy itself and help attack additional computers.
