| | F-Secure Computer Virus Information Pages: Backdoor |
 | | When a typical backdoor is run, it copies its file to Windows or Windows System folder and creates a Registry key to start that file during every Windows session. | | | A few backdoors have special scanner utilities to locate victim computers where server parts are installed. | | | Modern backdoors usually send a notification to specific e-mail, ICQ or MSN account when they are activated. |

| | Virus Information - Backdoor.G_Door.20 |
| | Under Win9x, to get rid of this backdoor, it is possible to boot a computer in DOS mode and remove the KERNEL32.EXE file from the Windows system directory, and after booting Windows, it is necessary to remove references to this file in the system registry. | | | As a result, the backdoor server-removal procedure is not a simple problem: it is impossible to remove or rename the KERNEL32.EXE backdoor server file (it is active and locked by the system); the registry keys are controlled by the server (this makes it impossible to reboot the system with a "clear" registry). | | | Under WinNT, it is necessary to kill the backdoor's process in Windows memory, then delete the server EXE file and clear the system registry keys. |

| | Thwarted Linux backdoor hints at smarter hacks |
| | But Loveless says the hack is a glimpse of a more sophisticated computer underground than is normally talked about, and fuel for speculation that backdoors in software products are far more common than imagined. | | | Software developers on Wednesday detected and thwarted a hacker's scheme to submerge a slick backdoor in the next version of the Linux kernel, but security experts say the abortive caper proves that extremely subtle source code tampering is more than just the stuff of paranoid speculation. | | | Under casual inspection, the code appears to check if a program calling wait4() is using a particular invalid combination of two flags, and if the user invoking it is the computer's all-powerful root account. |

| | The SubSeven backdoor, which allows malicious hackers to access and control a user's computer without his or her knowledge, is "one of the highest threats to Windows PCs, especially those running in broadband environments," said Chris Rouland, director of the X-Force research team at computer security firm Internet Security Systems (ISS) in Atlanta. | | | ISS found one strain of SubSeven 2.17 in thousands of computers, and Rouland estimates the total number of infected machines to be in the tens of thousands. | | | AN UPDATED VERSION of the backdoor program SubSeven was released by its creator, a hacker known as "mobman," on Friday, according to the "official" Web page of the program. |

| | Backdoor program gets backdoored |
| | Like other species in a genus that includes BO2K, SubSeven, and Beast, the working end of Optix Pro is a server that the hacker must insinuate into a victim's computer, either through subterfuge -- by misrepresenting it as an image file or an electronic greeting card -- or by uploading it to an already-compromised machine. | | | That is, none except for the author, a coder named "Sleaze" (he spells it "s13az3"), who secretly embedded in the program a random-looking 38-character "master password" that was known only to him. | | | The author of a free Trojan horse program favored by amateur computer intruders found himself with some explaining to do to the underground last month, after his users discovered he'd slipped a secret backdoor password into his popular malware, potentially allowing him to re-hack compromised hosts. |

| | Slashdot WMF Vulnerability is an Intentional Backdoor? |
| | The idea of a backdoor is to have it look for a specifically crafted but completely nonsensical and invalid input sequence -- this serves as the "key" to the backdoor, ensuring that no other designer or user accidentally stumbles onto it. | | | The problem with that argument is that in order to exploit this backdoor you'd have to get the target computer to load a WMF file. | | | In a more detailed explanation, Gibson explains that the way SetAbortProc works in metafiles does not bear even the slightest resemblance to the way it works when used by a program while printing. |
