What's a worm?
It's when malware is file-binded into applications or media files.
It's a form of eavesdropping between two legitimately communicating network devices, which involves creating spoofed packets.
It's a self-replicating form of malware.
It's a Denial of Service attack. It's a way to gain access to or shut down servers by overloading them with network data.
Worms are like viruses in that they self replicate and they hide themselves. But, they’re a little bit different in that typically they are worried about sending traffic, or receiving traffic, or just replicating all over the place to actually consume bandwidth instead of having some type of destructive payload where they delete files off a hard drive or prevent the system from booting, They’re usually used more often in a denial of service type attack because when they replicate they may just start doing broadcast traffic.
