Testing Time for Trojans

Friday, June 27, 2008


The research paper was about investigating Trojan attacks, its definition, how it functions and effects and how can it be detected or defined as a real Trojan other than a virus, bug or malware. The paper has studied on areas that are most vulnerable to Trojan attacks. The paper also discussed the crimes that could be very widespread if not prevented. The consumers and vendors affected have found time to extensively get rid of Trojan infections. The author of the research paper has arrived to a conclusion that the interest of getting rid of Trojan attacks seem to be decreasing but with the tests done and cited in the paper, anti-Trojan testing can be improved with enhanced test methods.
I found the research paper very useful and informative. The author has really shown a big concern for the computer industry and for the lot in becoming aware on the Trojan attacks that is really widespread nowadays since the boom of internet and ‘individual-causing-virus’. Although I agree to the author when he said that being so alarmed with the Trojan attacks could eventually diminish in the neat future since developments of modern programming languages, that are capable of countering virus or other malicious programs, are ongoing. The information could be of help to simple users/consumer like me that is just concern on how to protect their selves as anyone else. I have learned from the paper some tips to determine a very good anti-virus software, but I also agree in some part of the paper that it is also really hard to determine which of the ‘thing’ has infected your computer or system, resulting to difficulty of eradicating it.

I think that everyone knows what a trojan is!, the problem it brings to our computer. This virus lives in almost everywhere...
I hope that this "son of a gun" virus completely wipe out in the face of the earth!! ^_^ hahaha!

This research and my own perspective regarding trojans did match. But hey, lets not forget that trojans are very deceiving they can evolve and attack without our prior notice. By solving the trojan problem simply means that a new trojan with a higher capability is born. HAHAHA.
