Back Orifice
(redirected from BackOrifice)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Back Orifice
A program that installs itself on a Windows machine as a server, allowing a cracker with the client counterpart to manipulate the machine more completely than the user at the keyboard. It can come in the form of a Trojan or ActiveX control. Back Orifice 2000 (BO2K) provides access to Windows NT/2000 machines.

Back Orifice was created by "The Cult of the Dead Cow" (cDc), a hacker organization (www.cultdeadcow.com). There are various "BO removers," which are programs that detect and remove it. See BO remover, Trojan and RAT. See also back office.
