Trojan Horse Backdoor

Backdoor is a type of system or channel that is commonly used by administrators to maintain or develop an application system. Backdoor among IT people usually used for remote maintenance or repairs to facilitate the company or central maintenance. But backdoor more often touted in the world of hacking as another way to get into a system. From the name we can already imagine how backdoor is.

By using this backdoor, hackers usually take control a surface of system to the administration system by adding the concept of a Trojan Horse. Have you ever heard of trojan? Yes, a trojan is a malware that often and sometimes tries to enter our device when we downloaded or run something from a third party site or unclear sources. And when the trojan makes it into our system without being noticed by the anti-virus, then our system is under its control.

The concept of a trojan horse was created from a story in the past, namely the Trojan War which was made into a film called Troy in 2004. The concept is the same as what is told about the trojan horse in the film. Where the Greek kingdom made a large obedient horse made from wood which was awarded to their enemy, the city of Troy for winning the war. But inside the horse contained Greek troops who were ready to attack when the horse statue was received and put into the fortress of the city of Troy. Because Troy was proud of his victory they accepted and entered the statue of the horse and that’s the defeat of the city of Troy, where the Greek army came out of the horse statue and attacked directly from the city of Troy.

From this story you can certainly imagine the workings of this trojan horse and indeed that is the story of the hacking concept of this trojan horse. We prepare an application called backdoor where we put it into the target system by giving it or luring the system owner to execute or run the backdoor application, and if the backdoor is running, its opening our gate to gain access to the system.

We can get everything from surface system access to administrative system access. In an era when there were still many technology illiterates, this trojan horse was often used in companies to attack or defeat rival companies, where hacking techniques like this were still very minimal in how to overcome them. And that’s just one of backdoor hacking techniques, there are many more backdoor hacking techniques available and one of them is a trojan horse.
