Which of the following best describes malware that will execute some malicious activity when a particular condition is met (i.e., if the condition is met, then executed)?

Answer Options

A

Boot sector virus

B

Logic bomb

C

Buffer overflow

D

Sparse infector virus

Correct Answer: B

Explanation

A logic bomb performs malicious actions when a specific condition or conditions are met. A boot sector virus infects the boot sector of the hard drive. A buffer overflow occurs when the attacker attempts to put more data in a variable than it can hold. A sparse infector virus performs its malicious activity intermittently to make it harder to detect.
