Trojan Banker Simulation Utilizing Python

One of the most malicious types of malware used by hackers today are Trojans. Trojans can come in multiple different forms and are used to steal various types of information from a user. In the case of a Trojan Banker, it tricks a user by acting like something useful to the consumer, but it is secretly used to steal account information from a user and deliver that information to the hackers’ computer. Most of these attacks are delivered via social engineering, and in this paper, we will host a simulation that will identify what types of social engineering techniques are used to gain access to a user’s computer and then identify how long machines at varying levels of security take to discover and remove a Trojan from its system. This simulation should display how difficult it is for an active Trojan to go undetected by a machine as well as how much information a Trojan can steal before being caught.
