Roxanne is a professional hacker hired by an agency to disrupt the business services of their rival company. Roxanne employed a special type of malware that consumes a server's memory and network bandwidth when triggered. Consequently, the target server is overloaded and stops responding.
Identify the type of malware Roxanne has used in the above scenario.
In the scenario described, the malware that consumes a server's memory and network bandwidth, causing the server to overload and stop responding, is typically aworm. Worms are a type of malware that replicate themselves and spread to other computers across a network, often consuming significant system resources and network bandwidth in the process. Unlike viruses, which require human action to spread, worms typically exploit vulnerabilities or use automated methods to propagate without the need for user intervention.
