👉 Spyware engineering involves the design, development, and deployment of malicious software intended to secretly gather information about a user's activities or steal sensitive data without their consent. This type of software can be embedded in various forms, such as malware, Trojans, or backdoors, and often exploits vulnerabilities in operating systems, applications, or network protocols. Engineers use sophisticated techniques to ensure stealth and persistence, making detection challenging. They may employ encryption, code obfuscation, and polymorphism to evade antivirus detection and maintain long-term access to the compromised system. Spyware can target personal devices, corporate networks, or critical infrastructure, posing significant risks to privacy, security, and data integrity.
