The name “Trojan horse” is derived from the classical antiquity tale referring to the successful conquest of the city of Troy by the Greeks. To get through the city’s defenses, the conquerors built a massive wooden horse and hid a group of their elite soldiers within. After tricking the Trojan guards into pulling the gift into their fortified city, the attackers waited for nightfall, spilled out of the figure and overpowered the surprised defenders.
