Back Orifice

MSNBC: 'Cult' gives hackers weapon vs. NT
"Computer security firms are bracing for a serious flare-up of hacker activity come Sunday afternoon. With great fanfare at a Las Vegas trade show, the hacker group Cult of the Dead Cow will release a new version of its Back Orifice tool. The software, which makes it easy for computer intruders to hijack Windows-based PCs connected to the Internet, will be freely available on the Net. Much mischief is expected to follow, as is a 'fix' from the Cult itself."
