Also called a trapdoor. An undocumented way of gaining access to a program, online service or an entire computer system. The backdoor is written by the programmer who creates the code for the program. It is often only known by the programmer.

Backdoor is a hacker’s remote access tool. Usually a backdoor is a standalone file that installs itself to system and then remains active there listening to specific network ports for specific
commands. A typical backdoor consists of 2 parts - client and
server. Some backdoor packages have configuration utilities that
allow a hacker to configure server parts to their needs. A few
backdoors have special scanner utilities to locate victim
computers where server parts are installed.

There also exist IRC backdoors. These backdoors are controlled
via bots that they create in specific channels on selected IRC
channels. These channels are usually invite-only, so they can be
only accessed by hackers who use these backdoors.

    Search for the registry entry from which the Trojan derived, which may begin with “HKEY” followed by the file path. Delete the registry entry to ensure that the Trojan is removed. Exit the registry entry, and restart your computer so that the changes can take effect.
