Malware

Malware (malicious software) is any software intentionally designed to cause damage, steal data, or gain unauthorized access to computer systems. Categories include viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware, spyware, and rootkits. Understanding malware helps investigators identify infection vectors, analyze attack patterns, and trace threat actors through malware samples and infrastructure.
