infection [options] [arguments]  (non-standard; no official syntax)

The 'infection' command does not exist in standard Linux distributions or common repositories such as those for Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, or Arch Linux. A search across man pages, coreutils, busybox, and typical system tools yields no results for 'infection'. It is not part of any POSIX standard, GNU coreutils, or major package managers like apt, yum, or pacman.

This term may refer to malware, viruses, or fictional scenarios in cybersecurity training (e.g., CTFs or penetration testing challenges), but no legitimate executable or built-in shell command by this name exists. If encountered in a custom script, third-party software, or malicious context, it could indicate a trojan or custom payload designed to simulate infection mechanics, such as propagating files or network exploits. Users should scan systems with tools like clamav or rkhunter if suspecting compromise.

In legitimate contexts, 'infection' might appear in logs or error messages related to biological simulations, game mods, or academic research software, but never as a core system command. Always verify unfamiliar commands with which infection, type infection, or man infection, which will confirm its absence.

Command does not exist; attempting to run it results in 'command not found'. Potential security risk if present on system.

If 'infection' appears in processes or scripts, treat as potential malware. Use ps aux | grep infection and investigate.

For infection modeling (e.g., epidemiology), use tools like NetLogo or Python libraries such as ndlib, not system commands.

No development history; never included in Linux kernels, distributions, or standards bodies like POSIX or LSB.
