Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 485

Which program uses different techniques to conceal a malware's code, thereby making it difficult for security mechanisms to detect or remove it?

Answer options

• A. Dropper
• B. Packer
• C. Injector
• D. Obfuscator

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Obfuscator, because it specifically focuses on altering the code of malware to make it less recognizable and harder for security tools to analyze. While a Dropper may introduce the malware, a Packer compresses it, and an Injector places the code into other processes, none of these methods are primarily aimed at concealing the code as effectively as an Obfuscator.
