Rootkit和勒索软件之间的区别

1. Rootkit：
Rootkit是一套应用程序，是一种旨在感染目标PC并允许攻击者安装一组工具的恶意软件，这些工具可以授予他对计算机的持久远程访问权限。该恶意软件通常将自己伪装成“隐藏在普通视线中”的普通文件，因此您的防病毒软件会忽略它们。它使管理员级访问计算机或计算机网络成为可能。目的是从您的计算机上窃取身份信息，通常是为了获得对系统的控制权。很难检测和删除，需要专门的工具才能删除。

2.勒索软件：
勒索软件是一种恶意软件，旨在阻止用户从自己的系统访问，直到向勒索软件创建者支付了勒索费用为止。勒索软件比常规的恶意软件危险得多，并且通过具有感染附件的网络钓鱼电子邮件进行传播。勒索软件已经出现在最近几年，并且可以攻击个人或组织。
