It is called a Trojan horse. The name was gotten from somewhere out of mythology. This is how it goes, I think. Two nations were at war. One built a hollow wooden horse and hid soldiers in it. They gave it to the other nation as a 'gift'. When they were inside, the soldiers got out and killed the king and won the war.
