[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 1085724, member: 7463"] Although not all that common, coding malware in order to delay its execution certainly exists. Normally it will be targeted (especially to an Organization) and will contain at the core a True Zero-Day (never released into the Wild) file. Coding in some variation of Sleep (which is barely an inconvenience to do) will thus allow the base malicious file to hang out on a drive for whatever specified time before activating. If you would like to see such in action, I actually used a delay within a zero-day, although it was only a few seconds in my last video (Of LoLBins, 0 Days, and ESET (Part 2) in order to fit the timing of the background song. But it just as easily could have been made to wait until a big Holiday or an election. [HEADING=2][/HEADING] [/QUOTE]
