All I hear people talking about when it comes to malware is trojan, trojan, trojan. I can’t think of any program that would be considered malware/virus without being a trojan, because as far as I’m aware, people don’t purposefully download malware unless it is to sandbox and test for what it does. So are there any programs that are legitimately not a trojan?
In: Technology
Yes. Any malware that exploits vulnerabilities in software from remote over the network without user interaction. E.g. there were some computer worms doing this like SQL-Slammer.
They have become rarer though, as IT security is better as it used to be and those high-profile vulnerabilities are not appearing as often and are quickly fixed.
