1. Logic bomb

   A logic bomb is a piece of code intentionally inserted into a software system that will set off a malicious function when specified conditions are met. For example, a programmer may hide a piece of code that starts deleting files (such as a salary database trigger), should they ever be terminated from the company. Software that is inherently malicious, such as viruses and worms, often contain logic bombs that execute a certain payload at a pre-defined time or when some other condition is met. This technique can be used by a virus or worm to gain momentum and spread before being noticed. Some viruses attack their host systems on specific dates, such as Friday the 13th or April Fools' Day. Trojans and other computer viruses that activate on certain dates are often called "time bombs". To be considered a logic bomb, the payload should be unwanted and unknown to the user of the software. As an example, trial programs with code that disables certain functionality after a set time are not normally regarded as logic bombs.

1. logic bomb

   A logic bomb is a type of malicious software or code that is secretly inserted into a system and triggers a harmful function when certain conditions are met. It is designed to cause damage by crashing a computer system, corrupting data or programs, or deleting files when the programmed conditions are fulfilled. Examples of triggers could be a specific date or time, a certain user logging in, or a specific command being executed. Because a logic bomb remains dormant until triggered, it can elude detection from antivirus software.
