👉 A warm weapon, also known as a "warm gun," is a type of hacking tool that injects malicious code into legitimate software at runtime, rather than during the initial download or installation process. This allows attackers to execute unauthorized actions, such as stealing data, without the user's knowledge or consent. Unlike cold weapons, which are installed before use and remain dormant until triggered, warm weapons operate continuously, making them particularly insidious as they can evade detection by traditional security measures. They exploit vulnerabilities in software that are only discovered and patched after the fact, posing a significant threat to system integrity and data security.
