    Surely this is just using an image as an analogy?

    Like saying the malware is hiding in the code through obfuscation, and only by going through the code base with a fine tooth comb (symbolised by the magnifying glass) could you discover it.

    Or not I don’t know.

      Surely this is just using an image as an analogy?

      That’s precisely what it is. It’s exactly what you want in a stock image. It straightforwardly, simply conveys a concept without really leaving much room for interpretation. This is an image that’s intended to be used in some poor IT guys lousy malware powerpoint presentation to a non-IT department, and it’s absolutely appropriate for that context.

      But the smug “hurr-durr, that’s not how binary works” delivers more dopamine.
