May I be so rude as to ask who the hell cares about this subject. - This is a full-disclosure list to discuss exploits, techniques. tricks and share the odd ~/ dump, not a "play politics about definitions" list and quite frankly, I don't want to a) get this crap in my inbox b) read this crap in my inbox and c) spend time replying to this *gay whitehat* shite ..., so please be so kind as to have a cup of shut the fuck up. All my love, -coardump "hacking the whitehats for fun and profit, cos they know shit" ---- Applying the broader definition of Trojan, I can't even make sense out of your paragraph above. But I know that you aren't using the term to communicate the idea of malware that enables the attacker to gain control over, and future access to, the infected system ... If that's the definition you had in mind, then the paragraph you wrote makes logical sense. Otherwise, not. I agree that calling it a backdoor isn't comfortable, it just doesn't fit. This is part of why I'm saying that the definition of Trojan must include the access and control that a backdoor gives. It doesn't make sense to me that "Many of the more common Trojans these days are Worms, Trojans, and Backdoors ..." unless you are using Trojan to communicate the feature of remote access to the infected box.
