Re:Trojan Horse Detection tools(Possibly off-topic)

 Hi Sridhar,
 As far as i know, u have to go thru the whole code because a
trojan/backdoor
 can be embedded into code very cleverly ;-) and even experts might not be
 able to detect it!
 what i wud do if i were in ur case wud be to go thru the source code of
some
 trojans/backdoors[there are many available] and try to get an idea from
 those :-)

 [And yeah in case a tool to detect this exists,i'm looking forward to it!]

 All the best!
