Ethical Hacking Course: Different Types of Trojan | Intellipaat

There are several types of Trojan malware, each with its own specific characteristics and goals. Here are some common types of Trojans:

• Backdoor Trojan: This type of Trojan creates a hidden entry point (or “backdoor”) into the compromised system, allowing attackers to gain remote access and control over the system.

• Banking Trojan: As the name suggests, this type of Trojan targets users’ banking credentials and financial information, usually by intercepting their online banking sessions or stealing login credentials.

• Infostealer Trojan: This type of Trojan is designed to steal sensitive information from the compromised system, such as login credentials, credit card numbers, or other personal data.

• Remote Access Trojan (RAT): This type of Trojan is designed to give attackers remote access and control over the compromised system, allowing them to perform a wide range of malicious activities.

• Trojan-Dropper: This type of Trojan is designed to deliver and install additional malware onto the compromised system, often by disguising itself as a legitimate program or file.

• Trojan-Spy: This type of Trojan is designed to spy on the user’s activities and collect sensitive information, such as keystrokes, screenshots, or chat conversations.
