Backdoors are typically found within php files on the web server. Removal of backdoors requires an analysis of the site code. Sometimes backdoors are unsecured maintenance scripts accidentally left behind after authorized site maintenance.Ī site owner is often unaware that backdoors exist on the site, however, if any other malware is found on the site, is probable that many backdoor files or code injections also exist, allowing for an attacker to gain entry to the site. Usually if there is one backdoor, there are others that may or may not look the same. Backdoors are often found in conjunction with other malware.īackdoors can be difficult to find as they are often obfuscated code. Backdoor access allows an attacker to place any malicious code on the site. A backdoor can be inserted into a valid file as only one short line of code that looks rather innocent. Backdoors can look like normal php code or obfuscated (intentionally obscured to make code ambiguous) and hidden. They allow attackers access to all of the files within the hosting account. A malicious backdoor is code that allows unauthorized and often unrestricted access to a compromised site.
