Subject field(s)
  • IT Security
  • Testing and Debugging
CONT

How can a virus penetrate a computer? On a PC [personal computer], the attack points are most easily listed by analysing the steps which are performed when the PC is started (bootstrapped), either by switching it on, or by performing a so-called "warm boot" ....

Comment un virus peut-il pénétrer dans un ordinateur?

OBS

Un virus ne peut pénétrer dans un ordinateur sans d'abord s'exécuter. Tous les objets exécutables d'un PC étant connus, il est possible de répertorier les points d'attaque du virus. En ne permettant que la seule exécution des codifications légitimes exemptes de virus, on se dotera d'une bonne protection contre les infections.
