Exploits : Sets of malicious code. Payloads : Supplementary tools and commands. Auxiliary functions : Used to convert code or information. Encoders : Malicious software that hides in order to gain access. Listeners : Code that is programmed to activate once inside the target. Shellcode : Helps test deeper penetration once inside.
