Trojan Horse Attacks According to legend, the Greeks won the Trojan war by hiding in a huge, hollow wooden horse to sneak into the fortified city of Troy. Trojans are executable programs, which means that when you open the file, it will perform some action(s). Trojans can be spread in the guise of literally ANYTHING people find desirable, such as a free game, movie, song, etc. Victims typically downloaded the trojan from a WWW or FTP archive, got it via peer-to-peer file exchange using IRC/instant messaging/Kazaa etc., or just carelessly opened some email attachment. www.irchelp.org /irchelp/security/trojan.html   (1298 words)

CERT Advisory CA-1999-02 Trojan Horses Trojan horses rely on users to install them, or they can be installed by intruders who have gained unauthorized access by other means. We have confirmed with the authors of util-linux that a Trojan horse was placed in the file util-linux-2.9g.tar.gz on at least one ftp server between January 22, 1999, and January 24, 1999. Often, collections of Trojan horses are distributed in toolkits that an intruder can use to compromise a system and conceal their activity after the compromise, e.g., a toolkit might include a Trojan horse version of ls which does not list files owned by the intruder. www.cert.org /advisories/CA-1999-02.html   (2480 words)

Trojan? Trojans took this name because they are programs that appear to be useful but, in fact, are hiding something that will damage the computer. A trojan must be transferred to each computer separately and is often carried by a virus, worm, or even a hoax to do this. Then, after the system was rebooted 90 times, the trojan renamed and hide all of the files on the hard disk. library.thinkquest.org /C005965F/viralinfo/trojan.htm   (229 words)

The Difference Between a Virus, Worm and Trojan Horse? Viruses, worms and Trojan Horses are all malicious programs that can cause damage to your computer, but there are differences among the three, and knowing those differences can help you to better protect your computer from their often damaging effects. Some Trojans are designed to be more annoying than malicious (like changing your desktop, adding silly active desktop icons) or they can cause serious damage by deleting files and destroying information on your system. Trojans are also known to create a backdoor on your computer that gives malicious users access to your system, possibly allowing confidential or personal information to be compromised. www.webopedia.com /DidYouKnow/Internet/2004/virus.asp   (1692 words)

Trojan Simulator Most virus scanners are not that good at dealing with trojans, so it's likely that your virus scanner, if it detects the Trojan Simulator server, will neither be able to remove the process from memory nor be able to remove the registry entry. The demo trojan server file, named TSServ.exe, has a unique fingerprint that can be used by security software to detect its presence on a system. Trojan servers are often packed to avoid detection by security software - see the note below for more information about this. www.misec.net /trojansimulator   (620 words)

Trojan Enroute from Philadelphia to Boston, the freighter Trojan was moving at reduced speed through the gray shrouded mist with extra lookouts posted. After the Captain's order of "all stop", Trojan had not yet lost headway when lookouts spotted the prow of another steamer shoot out of the fog to port. Although Captain Diehl's quick thinking probably saved the lives of many aboard Trojan, the Steamboat Inspection Service found that his use of poor judgement and lack of good seamanship in driving his vessel at high speed through the fog, was the cause of the accident. www.mass.gov /czm/buar/shipwrecks/ua-trojan.htm   (618 words)

macosxhints.com - A warning on a new destructive 'trojan horse' According to Macworld UK and Intego, the trojan horse is a script that has been neatly saved as a clickable application, complete with a custom Microsoft Office icon. So now that you know about this trojan horse, the question is, what should be done about them on OS X? My first thought on reading the article was "Cool, Darwin at work on the peer to peer networks!" But then, I considered some additional scenarios which may have more applicability in the real world. The clou of a trojan horse is that it pretends to be something good but does something bad. www.macosxhints.com /article.php?story=20040512085517829   (6830 words)

Wired News: OS X Trojan Horse Is a Nag While Intego said the Trojan was benign, it said future versions could be authored to delete files or hijack infected machines. Technically, the threat isn't a Trojan Horse by the standard definition: It isn't a working piece of malicious code and can't easily be spread to other computers, experts said. "It is a proof-of-concept Trojan that does affect the Mac platform; however, it is currently not present in the wild," the company said in a statement. www.wired.com /news/mac/0,2125,63000,00.html   (865 words)

Trojan Horses A Trojan Horse is a program disguised as normal program, but actually exists to break security and cause damage in some way.

OS X Trojan appears   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Additionally, the Trojan has been neither widespread as a worm nor particularly effective, but should be an eye-opener to Apple users that no modern computer system is safe from the potential for viruses, worms and malicious code. The Trojan was first publicly disassembled and documented by Andrew Welsh, who has given it the name OSX/Oomp-A. Known to antivirus companies as OSX/Leap-A, Security giant Symantec categorizes it as a low-risk level 1 worm for 10.4-only systems (SecurityFocus is owned by Symantec Corporation), and McAfee similarly calls it a low-profiled worm. As major media outlets scramble to label this new malicious code as the first virus for OS X, the poorly-written Trojan is in fact not a true virus. www.securityfocus.com /brief/142   (518 words)

DJ SPOOKY and Trojan Records Trojan Records' founder, Arthur "Duke" Reid, used to drive the Trojan brand of trucks around Kingston with huge speakers blasting his innovative collection of Jamaican music, leading to the urban legend of how the name of the soundsystem cum record label developed.
