Hackers often name malware after enterprise security tools (like FortiManager). A file named fmgvm64...work.zip is likely a Trojan.

In automation scripts (Ansible, Terraform, Bash), you might see:

FMG_IMAGE="fmgvm64kvmv6build1183fortinetoutkvmzip"

Check the script’s help: ./deploy_fmg.sh --help fmgvm64kvmv6build1183fortinetoutkvmzip work
