Exploit Kit
A packaged toolset, typically deployed on compromised or malicious websites, that automatically probes visitors' browsers and plugins for known vulnerabilities and delivers a matching exploit and malware payload. Exploit kits were a dominant infection method in the mid-2010s and have declined as browsers adopted automatic updates and sandboxing.
