General Knowledge - Backdoors

['LinKin]

Hello,

I found this somewhere in this forum

resources were full of backdoor

What do they mean by that?

Thanks,

It means you shouldn't trust community resources that are compiled. Some "bad" people will put hidden commands in the scripts, and use them to get free money or spawn vehicles, or whatever it is that the backdoor allows them to do.

There could also be special statements that allow them to access the full functionality of that code. I've seen quite many resources on other servers, which I have been working for and I can always find some if-statement that allow specific accounts to execute specific commands. But then when they "leave" the server or quit some dev/admin team they spam those backdoors and abuse everything. So that's what a backdoor is as well - leaving it out there for you to abuse later on.

A backdoor can also be a simple bug. You notice a bug but leave it out there and then you abuse that bug yourself. I've seen those happen quite often as well.

Just don't give (compiled) scripts admin, then you will be save for your own admin powers. Only when you trust them for 100%.
