Rationale
The term "silent execution" refers to the ability of malicious commands or processes to run without generating any noticeable or overt signs, such as visible windows, pop-ups, or notifications.
By executing silently, the malicious code reduces the chances of the user or system administrator noticing any unusual behavior, making it harder to detect and remove.
