What is the typical method of distribution for worms?

Worms are a type of malicious software that is specifically designed to replicate and spread without the need for human intervention. The correct method of distribution for worms is through network connections, which allows them to propagate across connected devices and systems automatically. This means that once a worm is able to exploit a vulnerability in a networked device, it can self-replicate and continue distributing itself to other devices on that network, capitalizing on various vulnerabilities in operating systems or applications without requiring user interaction to execute the spread.

In contrast, other methods of distribution, such as through physical media, email attachments, or direct website downloads, often involve some degree of user action or reliance on external factors for the worm's propagation. While these methods can be utilized by other types of malware, they do not represent the characteristic behavior of worms, which thrive on their ability to autonomously and rapidly spread across networks.
