ITPEC FE Morning April 2021 Question 36
ITPEC FE Morning April 2021 — Question 36 of 80
Backdoor — a hidden access path installed by an intruder.
A backdoor is a covert entry point planted on a network or server, allowing the attacker to bypass normal authentication and re-enter at will.
Why not others:
- (b) Forensic — investigation of incidents after they occur, not an attack tool
- (c) Strict routing — an IP routing option that specifies the exact path for packets
- (d) Thin client agent — legitimate software for terminal-based computing
Key rule: "Access path other than normal" = backdoor by definition.
