Back Orifice

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Back Orifice is a program created by the Cult of the Dead Cow to let them moar easily h4x0r j00r b0x0r. It consists of two pieces: a server part that installs when you open that email from Grandma entitled "FLUFFY BUNNY PICS WEBSITE #56" but see a bunch of gibberish instead, and a client part that someone runs on another computer and uses to pwn you. It runs on port 31337 (lol get it?). Ur infoz promptly lay in the hands of the evildoers.

Because it was created before the world changed, it is widely assumed that Back Orifice was a major player in the hijacking of Oceanic Flight 815.

Back Orifice is part of a series on Web 1.0
