Back Orifice Strikes Australian Computers
by Dave Murphy
ISSN 1535-3613

Dave Murphy, DGL President & ITrain founder The Back Orifice program, which creates a backdoor monitoring system. Back Orifice can crack the security of Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems.

Once installed on a Win95/98 PC, Back Orifice hides itself on a hard drive and lets a malicious cracker obtain access to private information including login IDs, passwords, files, and other information on local and wide-area networks.One Thousand Four Hundred Australian Internet accounts have been compromised by the Back Orifice cracker

Cult of the Dead Cow, a collection of hackers, released Back Orifice in August to bring attention to what they said was poor security in Microsoft's operating system software. The program allows a malicious user to remotely control and monitor any computer running Windows 95 or 98 over a network.
