"The Dark Side of Technology: A Deep Dive into the World of Malware"

Malware is a term used to describe any software that is intended to cause harm to a computer system or steal sensitive information. It can come in various forms, such as viruses, worms, Trojans, ransomware, adware, and spyware.

Example: One common example of malware is the WannaCry ransomware attack, which encrypted files on infected computers and demanded payment in exchange for a decryption key.

Coding form: The specific coding form of malware depends on the type of malware and the programming language used. For example, a worm could be written in C or Python, while a Trojan could be written in Assembly or Java. However, it's important to note that malware is often disguised and can be difficult to identify in its raw code form.

Here's an example of simple C code that could potentially be used to create a malware program:

This code uses the "system" function from the "stdlib.h" library to execute a shell command that deletes a folder of "important files". Again, while this code by itself isn't inherently malicious, if executed on a user's computer without their consent or knowledge, it could result in the loss of important data.

Here's an example of simple Python code that could potentially be used to create a malware program:

This code uses the "shutil" and "os" modules in Python to copy a folder of "important files" to a backup folder, then deletes the original folder. While this code by itself isn't inherently malicious, if executed on a user's computer without their consent or knowledge, it could result in the loss of important data.
