Scammers hide viruses in texts

[Объединенное Детективное Бюро]

Scientists have developed a new technology that allows you to hide malicious code inside common English sentences. Hackers can get around most of today's antiviruses by hiding malicious code inside plain text, security experts say. According to Josh Mason of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, current anti-virus systems are based on the assumption that malicious code is different from plain text, such as English prose, because it has a different structure, according to newscientist.com. However, a team of researchers has now discovered a way to hide viruses inside common English sentences. Scientists have developed a technology that can search a large number of texts in English (more than 15 thousand articles from Wikipedia and about 27 thousand books), finding in them combinations of words that can be used in malicious code.

Pourquoi imprimer de tels déchets et c'est faux. Tout programme malveillant (cheval de Troie, virus, enregistreur de frappe, etc.) peut être caché sous votre fichier texte ou image préféré. Pour ce faire, vous avez besoin d'un simple menuisier (collage de fichiers) et d'un crypteur pour masquer le programme malveillant, le fait du collage de fichiers depuis l'AUE. Mais si le menuisier et le programme malveillant et la section * privée *, le crypteur n'est pas du tout nécessaire.

Technologie très intéressante (elle a été mentionnée en 2009).

Apparemment, afin de collecter ce code à partir du texte et de l'exécuter, vous aurez besoin d'autre chose comme un virus (c'est-à-dire revenir à l'original).

In order for the victim to make a decision on whether he wants to act according to the law to the detriment of his position, he just needs to know how great this damage will be.

PS By the way, Doctor Web's specialists coped all the same, from the second attempt. So, the topic turns more into a theoretical one. But to know about the procedure would still be very interesting.

Yes, it's kind of called a "Trojan". It doesn't have to be a text dock - it might even be suspicious. It is best to hide the virus in some kind of application. But I don't know how yet)

Surely, or rather 100% - someone will create a stronger antivirus.

 

[Частный детектив. Армения. Ереван.]

Have a new way? And what about antivirus and medicine against this infection?

 

[частный детектив. Узбекистан. Ташкент.]

Interesting technology!

It was mainstream back then.
