Androrat is an Android-specific Remote Access Trojan (RAT) designed to control Android devices, not iPhones.
Zscaler is a cloud security company providing security services, not a type of spyware itself.
Trident refers to a set of three zero-day vulnerabilities in Apple's iOS that were famously exploited by the NSO Group's Pegasus spyware. These vulnerabilities allowed for remote jailbreaking and provided extensive surveillance capabilities on iPhones, including recording audio, capturing screenshots, and monitoring all calls and messages.
