Transcript text: Multiple Choice Question A type of Trojan that remote attackers use to gain unauthorized access to a computer or network is called a $\qquad$ Trojan. Ransomware Backdoor Conditioned Exploit

Solution

The answer is the second one (Backdoor): A type of Trojan that remote attackers use to gain unauthorized access to a computer or network is called a Backdoor Trojan.

Explanation for each option:

Ransomware: This is incorrect. Ransomware is a type of malicious software designed to block access to a computer system until a sum of money is paid. It is not specifically used for unauthorized access but rather for extortion.
Backdoor: This is correct. A Backdoor Trojan is a type of malware that allows remote attackers to bypass normal authentication procedures to gain unauthorized access to a computer or network. It is specifically designed to open a backdoor for attackers.
Conditioned: This is incorrect. "Conditioned" is not a term typically associated with types of Trojans or malware.
Exploit: This is incorrect. An exploit is a piece of software or a sequence of commands that takes advantage of a bug or vulnerability to cause unintended behavior. While exploits can be used in conjunction with Trojans, they are not a type of Trojan themselves.

In summary, the correct answer is Backdoor, as it specifically refers to a Trojan that provides unauthorized access to a system.
