Hi Sridhar, As far as i know, u have to go thru the whole code because a trojan/backdoor can be embedded into code very cleverly ;-) and even experts might not be able to detect it! what i wud do if i were in ur case wud be to go thru the source code of some trojans/backdoors[there are many available] and try to get an idea from those :-)
[And yeah in case a tool to detect this exists,i'm looking forward to it!] All the best! Regards, Rahul Kashyap Software Developer, nSecure Software (P) Ltd.
