Stages or phases of virus 1. Dormant phase 2. Trigger Phase 3. Propagation phase 4. Execution phase Phases in Life cycle of a virus 1. Entry 2. Propagate 3. Exploit 4. Infect 5. Execute

Dormant Phase During the dormant phase, the virus will gain entry into the victim's computer or software but it does not do anything until it gets triggered by the user's action or event Propagation Phase In the propagation phase, the virus will start multiplying. The virus will start to duplicate or replicate copies of itself and propagate to other programs or areas on the disk. These copies are often mutated in some way to make detection more difficult. Triggering phase The triggering phase is where the virus changes from being dormant to being activated. The virus gets triggered when it gets the command to execute. This trigger could be anything from a predefined date to the user taking a specific action, like double-clicking an icon or clicking the spam email link or downloading the attachments in the spam email for example Execution phase Last phase is the execution phase, in which the virus starts to work by releasing the "payload". Once the virus's payload is released, the virus will delete the files or crash the system or do a malicious attack session fixation attack to steal the username pasoword or DOS (Denial of service attack or ransomware attack etc so that the user will feel the attack. The malware attack will steal the secret information like banking details like credit or debit card details when entered and start stealing money as it hacked the user credentials, do illegal fund transfer etc
