There was an interesting example in a NPS thesis about a decade ago introducing a back door into a device driver. I can't remember the student's name, unfortunately. Phil something-or-other. On Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 3:18 PM, Sebastian Schinzel <ssc () seecurity org> wrote:
Hi all, I am looking for ideas how intentional backdoors in real software applications may look like. Wikipedia already provides a good list of backdoors that were found in software applications: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdoor_(computing) Has anyone encountered backdoors during code audits, penetration tests, data breaches? Could you share some details of how the backdoor looked like? I am really interested in a technical and abstract description of the backdoor (e.g. informal descriptions or pseudo-code). Anonymized and off-list replies are also very welcome.
