This is a subreddit for readers to discuss technical malware news, malware internals and infection techniques, malware tools, and anything related to the professional world of malware.

Ask your IT support staff, your search engine of choice, another subreddit ( /r/antivirus or /r/techsupport for example), or a friend or relative.
