摘要:Malicious software is one of the major threats faced by the internet today. Basically the program is designed to disrupt the operation, collect information which can be used for unauthorized access and other targeted behavior. Malwares from their early designs which were just for propagation have now developed into more advanced form, stealing sensitive and private information. Apart from these their can even be some targeted worms to victimize an organization and even identity theft. In this paper, we are addressing different trends and techniques used for developing malware and a survey on how these can be handled in an efficient manner. Finally we discuss trends in malware designs and latest attack models and also the latest mitigation strategies.
