Viruses & Malware

Continued the Dark Side slides through cookies.

Talked about the different types of malware. Viruses can be classified by how they gain access to a system, and what they do once they're in.

Ways to get in:

• Trojan horse
• worm
• root kit

What they actually do (not a complete list):

• wabbit (massive self-cloning to clog system)
• Adware
• Spyware
• Zombie - Botnet

Just realized I did NOT talk about zombies and botnets in the 202 class.
