What is Trojan Virus?

A Trojan horse or Trojan is a type of malware that is often disguised as legitimate software.

Trojans can be employed by cyber-thieves and hackers trying to gain access to users' systems.

Users are typically tricked by some form of social engineering into loading and executing Trojans on their systems.

Once activated, Trojans can enable cyber-criminals to spy on you, steal your sensitive data, and gain backdoor access to your system

These actions can include:

Deleting data,
Blocking data,
Modifying data,
Copying data..

Disrupting the performance of computers or computer networks
Unlike computer viruses and worms, Trojans are not able to self-replicate.

A penetration tester configures their Internet browser to route traffic through the proxy which then acts as a sort of Man In The Middle by capturing and analyzing each request and response to and from the target web application. Individual HTTP requests can be paused, manipulated and replayed back to the web server for targeted analysis of parameter specific injection points. Injection points can be specified for manual as well as automated fuzzing attacks to discover potentially unintended application behaviors, crashes and error messages.   >> BURPSUITE: SOURCE   Burpsuite is created by: PortSwigger Web Security It is av...
