Abstract

Malware are the big threat within the digital world as they have a highly complex technological structure that is capable of penetrating networks, obtaining confidential information from personal computers and corporate systems, and even of making systems of critical infrastructure vulnerable. However, in order to achieve their objectives, they need to remain updated, so that they will not be detected by the different protection systems which re primarily antivirus. This investigation proposes a certain malware classification based on their obfuscation capacity, and also considering the methods, techniques, procedures and tools that a malicious code requires and that whose result suggests a general vision of the malware and its effective evasion in cyber space.
