• Executable code extraction. Cybercriminals often use binary packers to hinder the malicious code from reverse-engineered by malware analysts. A packer is a tool that compresses, encrypts, and modifies a malicious file’s format. Sometimes packers can be used for legitimate ends, for example, to protect a program against cracking or copying.
• Creates RWX memory. There is a security trick with memory regions that allows an attacker to fill a buffer with a shellcode and then execute it. Filling a buffer with a shellcode isn’t a big deal. It’s just data. The problem arises when the attacker can control the instruction pointer (EIP), usually by corrupting a function’s stack frame using a stack-based buffer overflow and then changing the flow of execution by assigning this pointer to the address of the shellcode.
• Network activity detected but not expressed in API logs. Microsoft built an API solution right into its Windows operating system. It reveals network activity for all apps and programs that ran on the computer in the past 30-days. This malware hides network activity.

Email spamming or spamming in social networks/communication platforms

Usage of unlicensed (hacked) programs or dubious tools

Malicious advertisements on the internet (ads with a malicious link or file inside)

Malicious advertisements on the web, however, is an old-timer of malware distribution. And the advice to stop clicking the blinking advertisements on untrustworthy websites exists as long as the ads on the Internet. You can also install ad-blocking plugins for your web browser – they will deal with any ads. However, if they are generated by adware already present on your PC, ad blockers will be useless.

Email spamming became a prevalent malware distribution method since the users do not raise suspicion on notifications from DHL or Amazon about the incoming delivery. However, it is quite easy to distinguish the malevolent email from the original one. One which is sent by cybercriminals has a strange sender address – something like [email protected]. Simultaneously, the original email address has a specific domain name (@amazon.com or @dhl.us) and can also be seen on the official website in the “Contact us” tab.

Software bundling is a widespread practice among the virus developers. Users who hack the programs to make them usable without purchasing a license approve any offer to include another program in the pack because they are gaining money in such a way. Check precisely the installation window for signs like “Advanced installation settings” or so. The ability to switch off the malware installation often hides under such items.
