Trojan horse, computer artwork
Trojan horse. Conceptual computer artwork of a wooden horse on wheels entering through city gates made from computer parts. This could represent a type of malicious computer program known as a trojan. A trojan is a destructive program disguised as a benign application. It can cause major problems such as deletion of data but, unlike a computer virus, is unable to replicate. Ther term comes from a story in Homers Iliad where a giant wooden horse was given to the Trojans as a peace offering by the Greeks. The horses hollow interior contained Greek soldiers who opened the city gates and allowed the Greeks to take Troy

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Trojan horse, beautifully depicted through computer artwork. The wooden horse on wheels gracefully enters the city gates made entirely from computer parts, symbolizing the concept of a trojan - a malicious computer program disguised as something harmless. While unable to replicate like a virus, this destructive software can cause significant damage such as data deletion. The term "Trojan" finds its roots in Homer's Iliad, where the Greeks presented the Trojans with an enormous wooden horse as a peace offering. Little did they know that hidden within its hollow interior were Greek soldiers who would later open the city gates and conquer Troy. This historical reference adds depth to this thought-provoking illustration. Incorporating elements of security, communication, and technology, this artwork serves as a reminder of the constant battle against malware and hackers in our interconnected world. It highlights both the vulnerability and ingenuity present in modern-day computing systems. With intricate details showcasing keyboards and other technological components seamlessly integrated into its structure, this sculpture represents high-tech communications intertwined with potential threats lurking beneath their surface. Overall, Science Photo Library has masterfully captured an image that encapsulates history, artistry, and cautionary tales about internet security all within one frame.
