Exam 98-367 topic 1 question 59 discussion

the correct answer is Backdoor.

A Trojan is sometimes called a Trojan virus or a Trojan horse virus, but that’s a misnomer. Viruses can execute and replicate themselves. A Trojan cannot. A user has to execute Trojans. Even so, Trojan malware and Trojan virus are often used interchangeably. https://us.norton.com/internetsecurity-malware-what-is-a-trojan.html Backdoor: A backdoor is a malware type that negates normal authentication procedures to access a system. As a result, remote access is granted to resources within an application, such as databases and file servers, giving perpetrators the ability to remotely issue system commands and update malware.

Wow these questions.. Technically a Trojan Horse is also malicous Code so both Trojan Horse and Backdoor would be correct

backdoor is code. trojan is malware

A back door is not code. This should be a Trojan horse .
