| Sometimes abbreviated as
BO, Back orifice is a
Trojan
horse
program created by the
hacker
group 'Cult
Dead Cow' that allows
users
complete
access to the
computer
it has been installed onto. Therefore a malicious user could
delete
files,
change files,
copy files,
edit
system
settings and information, essentially be capable of doing almost
everything remotely without most users knowing.
In order to be 'infected' with back orifice the user must first run
an executable file that secretly places the file on the computer. It is
important to also know that another program could also be included
within another file.
To determine if back orifice is present on a Windows computer
open a dos prompt and run the below
command.
netstat -a
If a local address has a port of 31337 it is likely that back
orifice is present on your computer.
Note: Computer Hope will not supply any user with BO or any utility
used to illegally obtain access to others computers. See our underground
page for additional information why.
