Jason, you just posted a quote that contradicts your stance. You are now officially fighting yourself. This quote says exactly what Thierry has been telling you: "In practice, Trojan Horses in the wild do contain [[the stuff Jason said they do]]. Because Trojan horses often [[do the things Jason said they do]], there often arises the misunderstanding that [[Jason's definition]] define[s] a Trojan Horse." This last sentence is saying that people often think that since a trojan is often a backdoor that all trojans are backdoors, when in fact the definition of a trojan is much broader. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
