Hackers Beware

NT Backdoors

The following programs are used to preserve access or create backdoors on Microsoft operating systems, and they are discussed in the following sections:

• Brown Orifice

• Donald Dick

• SubSeven

• Back Orifice

The first exploit, Brown Orifice, actually uses Netscape to create a backdoor and can be run against Microsoft and UNIX operating systems. This shows how an attacker can run an exploit against a victim’s system, compromise the system, and create a backdoor by starting up a web server. The remaining 3 programs are remote control type programs, which after a target system is compromised, can be installed and enable an attacker to have full access to a remote host. They can also be installed through Trojan programs.
