Summary
In this chapter, we learned about some methods for how to successfully deploy your malware programs. An important aspect of a malware program is how stealthy it is. This chapter focused on hiding your malware inside images. We learned about malware attacks over a public IP and how a hacker can attack victims that are not present in the same network as the victim. We then learned how to crack a password-protected file using a dictionary attack. Lastly, we learned how to create a command-and-control center for botnet-based attacks. These attacks allow the hacker to control a large number of distributed devices with only one program. After going through this chapter, you should be able to create trojans, perform attacks over a public IP, and create your own botnets. In the next chapter, we will learn how you can protect your online identity as a hacker and how important this aspect is to a successful attack. See you in the next chapter!
