Which open-source tool is described as used to create worms that can infect drives, files, show messages, and disable antivirus software?

• A. Fileless malware
• B. Internet Worm Maker Thing
• C. Legitimate applications
• D. Native applications

Answer: (B)

Understanding malware creation tools and what they imply is what this question tests. A description that says the tool is used to create worms that can infect drives and files, show messages, and disable antivirus points to a worm-creation toolkit—software specifically designed to generate self-propagating malware with disruptive capabilities. Among the options, that description is unique to a worm maker concept, making it the best fit. The other choices describe broader categories or harmless software: fileless malware refers to a type of malware that operates in memory, not a tool for making worms; legitimate applications and native applications are just ordinary software, not related to crafting worm programs. In practice, recognizing such a tool helps you think about how worms propagate and how defenses like strong endpoint protection, application whitelisting, and network segmentation aim to prevent them.
