Hello,
I wasn’t sure how to go about asking so figured id just ask on one of your recent posts.
I’m curious about types of malware. It is possible to combined the attributes of reverse shell malware and also the replicating attributes of a worm?
So basically the malware would propagate round a LAN and give the attacker access to every machine it infects.
I understand you would have to be an expert to code something like this. However, is it possible?
Henry :)

Yes it’s possible, and such things already exist. Most worms work via an exploit to gain access, then scan the network and spread further.
