👉 A packet weapon is a type of malicious software that exploits vulnerabilities in network protocols to transmit itself across networks undetected, often embedding within seemingly legitimate data packets. By mimicking normal traffic patterns, it can evade traditional security measures and spread rapidly, potentially compromising sensitive information or disrupting network operations. These weapons can be designed to deliver payloads such as malware, ransomware, or other harmful code directly to targeted systems, making them particularly insidious and challenging to detect and mitigate.
