MALWARE - malicious code. Defense: patching & anti-malware.
WORM - self-replicating in the wild; here the tankiest, highest-value target. Defense: network segmentation to contain spread.
TROJAN - disguised; RELEASES a payload (spawns DDoS). Kill it FIRST. Defense: code-signing & allow-listing.
DDOS - flood: many, weak, fast. Don't tunnel-vision on it. Defense: rate-limiting & scrubbing.
NETWORK DEFENSE
The network is under siege. A coordinated attack has penetrated the firewall. As NDX-7, the last defense drone, you must fight through six zones of compromised infrastructure and destroy the infection at the kernel level.
