in computer hacking, what does it mean to get in via a back door and how does it work?
In: Technology
Lots of things have a normal way to get in, where you just are a user and log in and use the site, that would be the front door.
For a lot of reasons a lot of things also have numerous other ways other things get in, like special code for the advertising bots, or debug stuff that programmers use, or admin tools, or testing software, or a million other things. These often are not as well tested or protected as the “front door” so hackers get in using them.
Basically it’s an intentional way to get into something, but not the one intended for you to use.
