- Ransomware
- AsyncRAT (RAT)
A remote administration tool that can control infected computers, steal data, and download additional payloads. It spreads through malicious attachments or downloads.
- Trojans
A type of malicious software that disguises itself as a legitimate program or file to trick users into downloading and installing it on their devices. Unlike viruses and worms, Trojans do not replicate themselves, but they can be just as damaging because they often provide a backdoor for other malicious activities.
- Botnets
A network of compromised computers (bots) that are controlled by a central server (command and control server or C&C server).
- Worms
Worms are a type of malware that, like viruses, can self-replicate and spread independently to other computers and networks. However, unlike viruses, worms don't need to attach themselves to other programs or files to propagate. They can independently exploit vulnerabilities in operating systems or software to spread and infect other systems.
- Rootkits
Rootkits are a type of malicious software that is designed to hide the existence of certain processes or programs from normal methods of detection and maintain privileged access to a computer system.
- Loaders

- WannaCry (Ransomware)
A notorious ransomware that exploits system vulnerabilities to encrypt files, demanding a ransom for decryption. It can spread rapidly across networks.
- Agent Tesla
A sophisticated trojan that often spreads through phishing emails. It can steal credentials, capture keystrokes, and exfiltrate sensitive data.
