Which Trojan is described as a small HTTP server embedded inside programs and can be wrapped with a genuine program?

• A. Defacement Trojans
• B. Restorator
• C. HTTP RAT
• D. SHTTPD

Answer: (D)

This question tests recognition of a Trojan that uses a tiny HTTP server tucked inside another program to provide a web-based control interface. The described Trojan is a small HTTP daemon that can operate inside a legitimate-looking application, giving the attacker a browser-accessible way to issue commands or pull data without drawing attention. That’s exactly what the embedded, compact HTTP server technique is about, and it’s what the term SHTTPD refers to. Why this one is the best fit: a small HTTP server embedded in a program designed to be wrapped by a genuine application is a hallmark of the SHTTPD approach. It allows covert remote control through a web interface while the host program remains seemingly ordinary. Defacement Trojans aim to alter websites rather than provide an internal web-based control panel. An HTTP RAT uses HTTP for command-and-control but isn’t defined by being a tiny HTTP server embedded inside other software. Restorator is a tool related to modifying resources or wrapping applications, not the embedded HTTP server concept itself.
