A Generic Model for Trojan Horse Attacks Prevention and Handling

Malicious payloads and computer codes have conventionally strived to gain access to target systems for aims which the affected end user experiences as unwanted functions or loss of data. This paper will examine the major types of Trojan horses, their mode of operation, and consequently, propose a framework for attack prevention and handling. It will highlight the need for effective control based on the premise that since Trojan attacks pose as harmless software, they have the potential to cause damage of exceptional magnitude. Ultimately, the proposed prototype will employ functional modeling to illustrate its potential as a powerful approach to information security.
