Which Trojan family provides remote control of a command shell on a victim's machine?

• A. Trojan Horse construction kits
• B. wrapper
• C. Command Shell Trojans
• D. DarkHorse Trojan virus maker

Answer: (C)

A Command Shell Trojan is designed to give an attacker remote command-line access to a compromised host. Once it’s on the victim’s machine, it opens a shell session back to the attacker (a reverse shell) or provides a shell on the infected system (a bind shell). This lets the attacker type commands, run programs, inspect files, and control the system as if they were sitting at the keyboard, all through the remote connection. That remote shell capability is the defining feature of this Trojan family, making it the go-to option for gaining interactive control over the victim. The other options describe tools or techniques that do not inherently provide that interactive remote shell capability: one refers to generic Trojan creation kits, another to wrapping an executable to evade detection, and the last to a different, less-standard name for a malware-creation tool.
