sure, but trojans for Linux are VERY rare, simply because you don't have a "click .exe and it installs" thing on Linux systems, so multiple mistakes and misconfigurations of the system would have to appear at the same time to successfully install a RAT without the user noticing it....additionally the user would have to be very inexperienced with Linux.

have a look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

as you can see there are just a few Linux trojans, and their risk level is always labeled as "low".

the only malware on Linux that is really dangerous are rootkits, but those can only be installed if the system was compromised already before.

:wink:
