👉 The Packets Weapon is a type of malware that targets and exploits vulnerabilities in the TCP/IP protocol stack, specifically focusing on the transport layer. It operates by intercepting and manipulating data packets as they traverse a network, allowing it to perform malicious activities such as data exfiltration, command and control communication, or disrupting network services. Unlike traditional viruses that replicate within a host, the Packets Weapon is designed to remain dormant until it identifies and exploits a specific vulnerability, making it particularly insidious and difficult to detect. It can be delivered through various vectors, including phishing emails or malicious downloads, and once inside a system, it can establish persistent connections to maintain control over the compromised machine.
