Malicious Codes/programs and backdoors

Malicious codes and programs refer to virus (that reproduces by attaching to another program), worm (an independent program that reproduces by copying itself from one system to another, usually over a network) and Trojan programs (an independent program that appears to perform a useful function but that hides another unauthorized program inside it).  On July 2001 it has been reported that a new worm, W32/Leaves worm  which targets home users. It has a functionality which allows an attacker to modify the behavior of the worm infected on a machine and permits an attacker to control the compromised machine's network. 

Malicious code can cause significant security breaches such as jeopardize the availability of information once it infects programs/files and corrupts them thus making them inaccessible. A Trojan program installed successfully in your PC, can permit an intruder to access or modify any information available in the PC and worst still the software configuration of a computer can be changed to permit subsequent intrusions.

A backdoor or a remote administration program once installed successfully in a PC, gives an attacker root access to the whole system. The implication of backdoor can risk the confidentiality of the information. An intruder can access or steal sensitive information from the victim computers, i.e. username/password, credit card number. Common tools used to get a backdoor access are Netbus, BackOrifce and Subseven.
