→Back Door Attacks
* '''Back Orifice''' - This rather distastefully named tool was developed by a group known as the the Cult of the Dead Cow Communications. The primary purpose of Back Orifice is to provide remote access to a server for the purposes of performing administrative tasks.
* '''NetBus''' - Similar to Back Orifice, NetBus is also designed to enable remote administrative access to Windows system.
* '''Sub7''' - Sub7 is yet another illicit back door program designed to allow unauthorized access to systems.
Whilst the installation of any of the above back door programs on a system will have serious implications for security, all these threats can be effectively prevented through the implementation of a comprehensive virus scanning strategy.
