A backdoor is a malware type that negates normal authentication procedures to access a system. As a result, remote access is granted to resources within an application, such as databases and file servers, giving perpetrators the ability to remotely issue system commands and update malware.

Backdoor installation is achieved by taking advantage of vulnerable components in a web application. Once installed, detection is difficult as files tend to be highly obfuscated.

Webserver backdoors are used for a number of malicious activities, including:

Data theft
Website defacing
Server hijacking
The launching of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks
Infecting website visitors (watering hole attacks)
Advanced persistent threat (APT) assaults

HiHi,

What is a backdoor attack in cyber security?

The simplest backdoor attack definition is using any malware/virus/technology to gain unauthorized access to the application/system/network while bypassing all the implemented security measures.

In cybersecurity, a backdoor attack is a type of malware attack that allows unauthorized access to a computer system or network. A backdoor is a hidden entry point that bypasses normal authentication and allows attackers to access the system undetected. Backdoors can be created by attackers who exploit vulnerabilities in the system or by insiders who intentionally install them. Once a backdoor is established, attackers can use it to steal data, install additional malware, or carry out other malicious activities.

Backdoor attacks can be difficult to detect and mitigate, as they are often designed to blend in with normal system activity. To prevent backdoor attacks, organizations should implement strong security measures such as multi-factor authentication, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing.
