Which type of malware replicates itself to spread rapidly through a computer network?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, D

A Jasager attack is a type of wireless man-in-the-middle attack that exploits the way mobile devices search for known wireless networks. A Jasager device will respond to any beacon request from a mobile device by saying ''Yes, I'm here'', pretending to be one of the preferred networks. This way, the Jasager device can trick the mobile device into connecting to it, without the user's knowledge or consent. The Jasager device can then intercept, modify, or redirect the traffic of the victim. For this attack to work, the attacker needs to be within close proximity of the victim, and the victim must have at least one known network in their preferred list. The victim does not need to manually choose the attacker's access point, nor does the attacker try to get victims to connect at random.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like Trojan horses don’t replicate like viruses or worms do.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the different types of malware, but I'm having trouble remembering which one specifically replicates to spread rapidly. Maybe I'll try to eliminate the other options first and see if that helps me figure it out.

Okay, let me think this through. Ransomware encrypts files and demands a ransom, Trojans disguise themselves as legitimate software, and viruses infect files. That leaves worms as the type that replicates to spread quickly. I'm feeling good about that being the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know worms can spread quickly, but I'm not totally confident that's the right answer. Maybe I should review my notes on the different types of malware just to be sure.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. I know the frequentist view is about probabilities, and Knightian uncertainty is about things we can't evaluate probabilities for. I think I can figure out the right answer.
