A backdoor shell can be a PHP, ASP, JSP, etc. piece of code which can 
be
uploaded on a site to gain or retain access and some privileges on a
website. Once uploaded, it allows the attacker to execute commands 
through
the shell_exec () function, upload/delete/modify/download files from 
the web
server, and many more. For defacers, it allows them to navigate 
easily to
the directory of the public_html or /var/www and modify the index of 
the
page.
